We love Austen in Austin

You Are Cordially Invited to a Most Sensible & Spirited 5K Promenade

Pray join us for a morning of lively exertion and cheerful company inspired by Sense and Sensibility. On Saturday, the eighteenth of April at ten o’clock in the morning, our assembly shall set forth for a 5K promenade about Town Lake—a pursuit equally suited to the sensible and the spirited alike.

Whether you run with the steady composure of Elinor or the enthusiastic dash of Marianne, all are welcome to take part in this most agreeable outing.

Along the route, you may expect diversions and delights, including:
• Literary trivia at various mile markers to test the sharpness of both wit and memory
• Small prizes for those who prove most knowledgeable in Austenian matters
• Finishing prizes awaiting all who complete the course with suitable determination

For those wishing a keepsake of the occasion, Sense and Sensibility race medals may be ordered in advance from https://www.virtualpaceseries.com/products/sense-sensibility-strides-run, rest assured that additional finishing prizes shall be provided for participants on the day of the event.

After our exertions, participants are warmly encouraged to linger for conversation, refreshments, and convivial society, for what could be more delightful than sharing triumphs and literary enthusiasm among friends?

So lace your running shoes with the resolve of good sense—or the passion of sensibility—and join us for a morning that promises exercise, merriment, and a touch of Regency charm.

Date: April 18
Time: 10:00 AM
Location: Lady Bird Lake Festival Beach (Edward Rendon Sr. Park) is located at 2101 Jesse E. Segovia St, Austin, TX 78702, on the north shore of Lady Bird Lake just east of I-35.

We very much hope you will favour us with your company for this most spirited affair.
