Imagine Running a 5K Where Ben Hogan and Ben Crenshaw Played!
Last Year's Official Starter, Austin Golf Legend Ben Crenshaw Will Return
Ben Crenshaw grew up and lives nearby, he has been a vocal and visible supporter of Muny and still plays there often. “Anyone who has ever lived in Austin, or grew up here, knows Muny is much more than a golf course. It’s been a place where my friends and I have met, a place where parents have left their kids to learn the game and a place for community functions, charity events and celebrations. It’s a special part of our city for over 88 years. Austin just can’t afford to lose this green-space and deny future generations the same opportunity to enjoy this jewel,” Crenshaw said, adding, “I hope to start the race again this year and for many years to come.”
Lions Municipal Golf Course has been in operation since 1924 and is recognized by the Texas Hist Commission. Muny is an Austin icon and is in peril of being closed in 2019 and replaced with retail and apartment development, according to plans being considered by the University of Texas, the owner of the Brackenridge Tract where the course is located.
Longtime Muny employee Mike Brent; an avid runner, conceptualized the race. “Every morning when we open the course, there are lots of runners, joggers, and folks taking walks with their dogs and neighbors, enjoying the open space.
“People had a blast at last year's run and Muny is ready to hold an even bigger field this year.”

Austin without Muny...We can't do this alone Austin. We need to save this open green space and we need to hear from the people of Austin.
