Plan to take the kids to the Travis County Expo Center on Saturday, Mar. 11 for a great time at the annual Rodeo Rumble. In this FREE kids 1K Fun Run, children ages 12 and under are invited to race around Luedecke Arena (on the dirt where the cowboys and cowgirls compete each night). Racers are organized by age, and parents are allowed to walk with the youngest group.

–> Schedule: Check in starts at 9 a.m. and the first race starts at 9:30 a.m.
