This story is from August 2013. I'm publishing it now because the Capt'n Karl's nighttime race at Colorado Bend is coming up on Aug. 3.

This is about the adventures of a handful of runners from the RGV traveling six hours for a night race. We sampled pretty much all the food in town. Then we ran the race.

Here are some of the places mentioned in the piece: San Saba Olive Oil Co.

Wedding Oak Winery, Alamo Pecan Co. 

Colorado Bend State Park

Larry's Corner Cafe
