The morning air lifts off Lady Bird Lake as the group gathers outside a local brewery — the clink of disposable bibs and the murmur of warm-ups mingle with the scent of fresh hops. Runners set off on a flat, city 5K that threads along urban greenways and past downtown landmarks; the finish line returns to the brewery for a cold beer and swag that reward the effort.
