Anyone interested in a morning run/s at Drupalcon Austin? If so, is anyone familiar enough with the area to create a running route?

I am not a runner…
But the hotels near the Austin Convention Center are conveniently close to our excellent Butler Hike and Bike Trail along Lady Bird Lake. Using various bridges across the lake, you can create loops of a number if different lengths. Run a different loop each day, if you want.
Here's a trail map:

Unfortunately, the Riverside Boardwalk on the south side of the lake won't open until June 7. It's directly across from the convention center, so it would be neat to have that gap closed. Still, there are many other good routes to run.
Morning Run at DrupalCon Austin
Hi,
The hotels there are only about a quarter mile from the lake, and the trail there is perfect for running. You can make a loop (for instance, with the Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge and the Congress Avenue Bridge), or you can just run an out and back along the north shore of the lake. There will be a ton of runners in the morning.
It's kind of similar to running in Portland along the river at last year's DrupalCon, except with more sun :)
I'm definitely up for a group
I'm definitely up for a group run or runs anytime between now and Saturday.
