Your Guide to Lake Travis, Austin TX
You’ll want to set your alarm clock extra early this Saturday for the chance to see a sky full of color over Lake Travis — it’s the 25th Annual Lake Travis Flight.
The Central Texas Ballooning Association plans to launch hot air balloons at sunrise (approximately 6:45am — weather conditions permitting) from Mansfield Dam Park. Allow yourself enough time to grab some donuts, find a parking spot, and check out all the pre-flight sights and sounds.
One of the best parts of living in the Lake Travis area are the many opportunities to be active with your family. FitSmart, sponsored by Lake Travis ISD, is a perfect example of an active-lifestyle and family-friendly event.
FitSmart 2015 is Sunday, May 3 from 10:00am to 2:00pm at Lake Travis High School. This free event is fun for all ages. And if you do not have high school-age children, this is a great opportunity to see the sports facilities up close. (And trust me, you will not be disappointed. This is Texas high school sports facilities like you’ve seen in the movies!)

Downtown Austin: A mass of athletes and Austinites materializes in the cool morning air, men and women perform last-minute stretches to warm up sleepy muscles, a quick crack and the race begins.
Scenic tours through historic haunts around town inspire while enthusiastic bands, dance teams and cheer groups entertain when the going gets tough. You pace your stride to keep a steady flow of energy, and as crowds of strangers cheer you on, you reach into your final reserves to push yourself across the finish line.
Austin is an amazing and unique city. Its dual loves of healthy living and going green come together this February to bring us the Austin Marathon, Half Marathon and 5K. On Sunday, February 15th at 7 am, get geared up for the marathon of the year, all in the name of green living.
