The Rio Grande Valley of deep South Texas has tons of folks on active duty, reserves, and veterans and we'd like ...to bring EVERYONE together to celebrate. (If you're on active duty or you're a veteran, you can sign up for a free workout t-shirt from Team RWB (red-white-and-blue) at http://teamrwb.org/
Handcyclists welcome! Older kids--able to run along--are welcome as well. Baby strollers welcome on road.
We welcome donations of refreshments and food afterwards.
