OLD SIGN


Attention to details? The event has been over almost two months. WHY is the sign still up? This is a development that shuns signs, as Discovery almost immediately took out the Spanish Oaks signs when they took over.

TURKEYS!!!


I just happened to turn around and look out the window - something I do many many times daily, but this time the whole slope was covered!!! By a flock of wild turkeys! Grabbing for my camera I didn't have time to count as I had to defeat the focus which was trying to focus on our window screens, not the birds... there had to be two DOZEN and they weren't little ones, either. They milled about then slowly headed down to the area of Overlook Pass.

The hills ARE alive, and not with the sound of music!

IT'S A WONDERFUL WORLD

It's hype but that's the biz.

WHAT WERE THOSE CONES FOR?

What is Esmeralda’s Run?

The first Esmeralda’s Run was held in November of 2005 days after Esmeralda Werbeck passed away from a long battle with cancer. With tremendous support from family members and friends, Esmeralda’s son Brent Werbeck created the race as a memorial for his Mother. Esmeralda’s greatest fear was that she would be forgotten after she passed away. This race ensures that this fear never comes true.

Starting and finishing at the Austin Tennis Academy, the race is located in the beautiful Spanish Oaks exclusive golfing community. The 5K and 10K courses wind their way through the scenic residential neighborhoods, while the Family Fun Mile guides entrants along a gorgeous trail inside the Spanish Oaks property.

Race Details
When:
Sunday, December 13th 9:30 AM
