OVERVIEW & COURSE Overview Wimberley in May...what a treat! And now you have the chance to run and walk along some of the most scenic stretches of this hidden, Hill Country gem. If you've been to Wimberley you know its charm. If not, now you have a great, multi-purpose reason to visit! The Wimberley 4 is destined to become one of those special events you return to year after year...a great event, great course, great music, great volunteers, great cause and great Texas Hill Country ambiance. After the Wimberley 4, take a stroll through the village shops on "the Square", full of wonderful local art and special, one-of-a-kind gifts. Then grab some lunch or sip a cool beverage while taking in the scenery along the banks of beautiful Cypress Creek. Maybe event treat "Mom" to a Wimberley sunset from one of the many Bed & Breakfast Inns in the area for Mother's Day! 4 Mile Run/Walk Course Start Time - 8:30 a.m. You are going to love this route! The 4 Mile course is a beautiful loop course starting at Wimberley High School on the west side of town. From the High School the course heads straight into the Village on FM 2325. In the middle of town the course will then turn right onto River Road, named for the fact that it runs parallel along the beautiful Blanco River. The course turns right onto Wayside Drive and right again onto scenic Green Acres Road, for the country road section of the course as it heads back to finish with a "victory lap" in Texan Stadium.

It's a great course for the 'little ones' or folks not up to the longer course. Race Support Plenty of volunteers will staff and support your efforts from start to finish. Expect to find two aid stations along the four mile route for plenty of hydration opportunities. You may even be surprised to find music along the route like you'd expect in a longer marathon event! Course safety will be provided by Hays County sheriff's deputies and local constables. Wimberley EMS staff will also be on hand along the route in case they are needed. Post Event Entertainment After the event, participants can enjoy refreshments donated by our great sponsors along with great musical entertainment for everyone. Overall Awards will be presented at approximately 9:45 AM. The HS Athletic Booster Club will also be manning the Texan Stadium concession stand for anyone looking for hot food or additional snacks and drinks for family and friends. The George Kinney Band – a favorite on the Austin Music scene for many years - will be providing the post event music and entertainment. Kick back, relax and enjoy some great “Texas Country Rock with a bluesy twist”...what better way to celebrate a Wimberley in May! There will also be various event sponsors and vendors on hand at the finish line so be sure to check them out. It'll be a great place to kick back, take in the springtime morning and feel good about your finish! Thank you to Robert Anschutz for our wonderful site photos! |
