The 12th Annual WILDERNESS FUN RUN AND WALK sponsored by the Lakeway Friends of the Park, will be on Saturday, April 17, beginning at 9:30 a.m. at The Hamilton Greenbelt I. It is across Lohman's from the Lakeway Justice Center, where parking will be available for participants, as well as more parking at the Activity Center.

Participants can choose to run or walk either three or five miles and we hope you will appreciate the changes we have made to some of the trails. In case of inclement weather, the decision to cancel will be made Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. on race day.

Register online at www.lakewayfop.org or by picking up an application form at Lakeway Activity Center, Lakeway City Hall, The World of Tennis, and at the boxes at the entrances to Lakeway City Park, The Canyonlands and Hamilton Greenbelts I and II.

There is no entrance fee, but a commemorative T-shirt can be purchased at the event for $15. If you register before April 6, you may purchase a T-shirt for $8. If you register early you will be assured the size of your choice. Proceeds from donations and sales go toward the maintenance and building of trails in the Lakeway Parks and greenbelts by Friends of the Parks.

If you are interested in joining the group, please let us know by visiting the website, www.lakewayfop.org,contacting a Board member, or letting a member know at the race. We work one weekend a month, September through May. If you cannot help us physically, help us by being a paid member at $15 a year for a family membership, no matter the size of your family. We also accept High School Teens doing their volunteerism through school participation programs.
