Get ready for the 11th annual Keep Austin Weird Festival and 5K. The possibilities are endless at this classic and crazy Austin extravaganza! You can run, skip, or race three-legged through the streets of downtown Austin as we race from normality. Best of all, you can cross the finish line wearing the wackiest costume you can come up with (the weirder the better)!
Whether gasping for air from laughter or lack of physical activity, we’ll have a variety of fun stops along the route so you can catch your breath before making it to the finish line. Some of the checkpoints have included Austin favorites, like Amy’s Ice Creams and Austin’s Pizza. Shots of Republic Tequila have also been known to add a twist to the average 5K experience…
Unofficially known as “the slowest 5K you’ll ever run,” you won’t want to miss this year! Each registered participant will receive free entry into the Keep Austin Weird Festival with live music and local Austin grub, drink and craft vendors. From 2p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Long Center terrace, enjoy all the Festival has to offer Austin residents and visitors alike. Be there all day as the bands take the stage to entertain the crowd. This year’s lineup includes:
Shiny Toy Guns
The Green Cards
The Whigs
Erin McCarley
More to be announced..
With local food, drink, and great people watching (especially at the costume contest) the Keep Austin Weird Festival is a must for the lovers of our city.
Start planning your costume now and grab your friends to celebrate what makes Austin the best city in the world! Register for the 5K and get your festival passes at www.keepaustinweirdfest.com
