Armadillo Dash Half Marathon March 7, 2010
Run or walk a half marathon along an out-and-back course that begins and ends at the city's Veterans Park on Highway 30/Harvey Road. The course for the race takes participants along roads a couple of miles away from the A&M campus, which gives the city its strong identity as "Aggieland" and is the alma mater of famous country singers like Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen (one of whose more well-known songs, appropriately enough, is "Armadillo Highway"). Much of the course is predominantly farmland, some of it dotted with trees and the rest of it wide-open spaces, which means plenty of flat terrain for most of the race. The Half Marathon course is a scenic and fast course that takes you along breathtaking views of country roads, neighborhoods, and short distances of city terrain. Don't miss the fun in Aggieland, and join us for another successful run at the Fourth Annual Armadillo Dash Half Marathon. Longhorns are welcome too!
