Our Great City

RAW has an outstanding reputation for community involvement, generosity and the ability to put on a darn good race. The club has adopted Horseshoe Trails where we run and walk, and we’re involved with all park clean-up days. Between 2000 and November 2005, the club donated over $60,000 to non-profits, including Texas Special Olympics, various dog rescue groups, Camp I-Thonka-Chi (a pediatric burn camp) and several September 11th groups. We are funded by membership dues and our annual races . The Bold in the Cold 5k and 15 k is held each January. The Hound Dog Hustle 5k and one-mile fun run is in April, and the Double Trouble 5k and 10k races are each fall. These races have a stellar history of being well-organized and downright fun. Our race T-shirts, mugs and flyers have all won “Best of” awards by Runners World Magazine and Runners Triathlete News.

Membership is only $20 a year for individuals and $30 for families. Membership benefits include: our bimonthly national award-winning newsletter, The Footprint, discounts at local running stores and discounted entry fees to RAW races.
