You know how Rome wasn’t built in a day? Well, your body probably wasn’t built to tackle a marathon, like, tomorrow. That’s what this launch week is for – to get you officially committing to to some of the city’s biggest running events (like the Ascension Seton Austin Marathon, Half Marathon, and 5K, and the Spurs Austin International Half) while simultaneously snagging steep discounts on early bird registration and earning a shot at loads of giveaways. All week, running groups will be open to newcomers. From early risers to beer enthusiasts to fleet-footed moms, you’re bound to find a group that speaks to you. – Kimberley Jones
