Time to lace up your racing shoes, ladies and gentlemen.

Registration is open for the Maudie’s Moonlight Margarita Run, which once again will take place virtually this year.

Participants in the 5K can run anytime between now and May 31. A drive-through party where runners can pick up their commemorative T-shirts, plus nibbles and margaritas from Maudie’s TexMex, will take place on June 4.

This year marks the 18^th year for the race, which benefits The Trail Foundation, a non-profit organization that works to maintain and improve the popular 10-mile trail around Lady Bird Lake.

Registration is $30 per person. To sign up, go here. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/maudies-moonlight-margarita-run-benefitting-the-trail-foundation-tickets-142559847341

After you register, you’ll receive an email link to create a virtual bib that you can share on social media to encourage your friends to get involved.

Then it’s time to get moving. You can walk or run your 5K, using one of the recommended on-trail routes, or any other 5K course you choose. Submit your best time to the website by May 31.

On June 4, join the drive-through packet pickup party to get your commemorative T-shirt, margarita and nibbles from Maudie’s TexMex.
