When

Thursday, Nov 12 · meet 7:00 AM, run starts 7:05 AM

Where to meet

The LINE Austin lobby, just inside the main entrance (111 E Cesar Chavez St). At 7:05 we head out to the trail together.

Route

About 3.2 km / 2 mi, one counter-clockwise loop on the Butler Trail. West along the north shore, across the Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge, back east along the south shore past Auditorium Shores, then over the Congress Ave Bridge to finish where we started. The sun comes up around 6:53, so the way back heads east, straight into the morning light.

Pace

Easy and conversational: 6:00–7:00 /km (about 9:40–11:15 /mi). We stay together as one group, and no one gets dropped.

Coffee after

After the run, we all walk over together to Desnudo Coffee in Fareground (111 Congress Ave), 2 minutes away. Coffee around 7:35.
