The 11th Annual IBM Uptown Classic will be October 17, 2010.  We are still one of the fastest and best routes in Austin. The race will begin at the IBM Austin campus and go through the Domain shopping center.

We are the first race in the Austin Distance Challenge and the only 10K. The Distance Challenge is a series of Austin area races that lead up to the Austin Marathon in February 2011. The goal is for participants to run all 6 races in the series. 

The IBM Uptown Classic  is pleased to announce the YMCA of Austin is our race beneficiary for 2010!   The YMCA of Austin is a nonprofit organization that includes eight local branches in Travis and Hays counties. Your support of the IBM Uptown Classic will help us deliver the innovative MEND (Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do It!) program at no cost to families that need it most in underserved communities across Travis and Hays Counties. Nearly one-third of American children are overweight or obese, and two thirds of children and teens do not exercise enough*. As a community leader in Health & Wellness, the YMCA of Austin is taking an aggressive stance in combating childhood obesity through the family-oriented MEND program. By teaching kids and parents how to lead active, healthy lifestyles together, MEND gives families the tools they need to make good decisions. Through the IBM Uptown Classic, you’re helping the YMCA fulfill its promise to make health & wellness, youth development and family enrichment programs accessible to everyone in the Austin community.
