Hot Dog Run is just around the corner, Saturday, 4 Sep at 6:30 PM. For those who don’t take off for the long weekend, come on out to Santa Fe Golf Course to support the Humane Society. Great fun—the only race which is based on how well you estimate your 1-, 2- or 4-mile times (no watches allowed, of course!).

Some of us are working the Brady Goat Gallop in Brady. If you want to come out to enjoy the race, town festivities and the annual Brady Goat BBQ cookoff…come on out and enjoy Brady, TX. It is Sat morning (same Sat as the Hot Dog Run).

Volunteers are always needed; come on out and support the races.
