Run Like The Wind 24 Hour – 2010 Results
By David Hanenburg on 13 Dec 2010 at 2:09 pm | Tagged as: race news
On December 4th, the Run Like The Wind running event took place on the ground of The Canine Center for Training and Behavior in Austin, Texas. The run benefits the Schrodi Memorial Training Fund which helps dog owners that can’t afford high quality reward-based training when having trouble with their four legged friend. Thus reducing the number of dogs dropped off at local shelters. Woof!
The run is primarily a timed event (3/6/12/24 hour) but also includes a 5 km where you can actually run with your favorite pooch as well. The puppy run completes prior to the 3-24 hour adventures.
Nearly 50 puppy lovers and running crazies participated in the loopy fun.
A big thanks to Deborah Sexton for the pics.
Course
This is where life and running gets real simple. The course is a 1 km loop on a soft, flat, and mulchy surfaced trail completely canopied by trees. There are a few included roots to keep it interesting during the nighttime hours!
The course!

Race Reports
- ““This is old-school ultra running,” one participant said, and with the laid-back, hospitable race director and the small field of runners who cheerfully, vocally supported each other all day long regardless of differences in ability level, you had to wonder why a new school would ever be constructed.” by ebwrite @ Run with Mu
- “I know the volunteers and the RD thought I was totally crazy, but I REALLY had FUN at this race. I arrived in such a great mood and it is sometimes hard for me to contain myself. Several times I jumped for joy as I crossed the timing mat.” by Maryann @ malvs2walk
