The SpiceBuddies are working hard on the “unofficial” extracurriculars around SpiceWorld24.

  • Are you arriving to Austin a day or two earlier?
  • Do you like to run (or walk - we don’t judge) without being chased by anything other than your own thoughts?
  • Want to join a 5K Fun Run and receive a medal for your efforts?

Let’s take a poll and see if we can get enough participation to make this happen!!

  • Yes, I want to run for the joy of it, at the crack of dawn!
  • Yes, but I will walk.
  • No, I want to sleep in.
  • No, I’m not arriving early.

As a Spicebuddy i have to endorse this event. I may actually be in a physical condition to bring my bike and do a 20mi @dimforest? while people do their 5k on foot. But yeah I’m not “Like to walk” kind of guy either.

HAHA Donut is running!!!

edit: and now i notice is says i’d like to walk. not i dont walk … not paying attention multitasking…

Your wish is my command.

I would have thought the whole point of a SpiceWorld 5K is that you ARE being chased by a dinosaur.

Even I have the badge for this multiple times. Walking a 5k only takes 50 minutes and is a great way to get you ready for more bacon.

@dimforest We can do 20mi in just over an hour.

You shut your mouth! :smiley:

If I were able to attend I’d be all for it but alas the $'s aren’t in abundant supply. I’ll do a virtual option on a mountain trail ON foot here where I’m at.

I love this idea, but can’t forsee being able to make it anytime soon. =(

Who would want a virtual 5K option?

Appreciate you guys picking this up since I won’t be attending this year. I’ll be interested to see what route you choose since the usual one along Lady Bird Lake probably won’t be feasible with where the hotel is this year. Hope you get a good turnout!

The ATT center is on the edge of the UT campus and there is a creek trailhead access 3-4 blocks west on MLK. I’ve looked into it since you’re not coming, shouldn’t be to difficult to come up with a route.

I’ll be walking.

Every one that is wanting to participate.

We have completed the route. Thanks @dimforest for his paid subscription to Strava.

It starts at the AT&T conference center and goes to the University Tower (yes the tower that the shooter was shooting people from in the 60’s) around the campus to the Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium (This is where #1 team in the country plays) with a lap around the stadium and back to the AT&T conference center.

Route can be downloaded here:

Sadly, we were not able to rally enough support for the SpiceBuddies Unofficial SW24 5K Fun Run to make it happen this year.

We will try again next year.

Thank you to all that responded!
