July 2016 Newsletter
Rugged & Raw is just around the corner!

Do you enjoy running over hills, rocks and the occasional patch of mud? This year's Rugged & Raw 10K/20K Trail Run is three months away and early bird pricing is still available! The challenging course is popular among trail runners and the opportunity to race at Cedar Ridge Preserve - Audubon Dallas doesn't happen often. In fact, the race sells out every year! Are you up for the challenge? Register today and join us on Saturday, October 1 for one of the best trail runs Dallas has to offer!
Thank you for a successful Meaningful Miles!
We can't thank you enough for spending your Saturday with Back on My Feet at this year's Meaningful Miles 5K/10K! We know that there are several wonderful charities in our community and it is such an honor that you selected to support us! Over 500 runners came out to support our members and alumni, raising nearly $30,000 to support Back on My Feet's programs and services.

Don't forget to check out all of this year's race photos here! Race results can also be found here. Feedback or suggestions for improvement are always welcome, so feel free to email us with any questions or comments. We hope to see you again next year!
