Look for Girlstart at the Austin Marathon/Half Marathon! Almost fifty energetic volunteers have signed up to represent Girlstart at our very own water stop at the Austin Marathon/Half Marathon on Sunday, February 17th. Our water stop will be located at mile 12 on the Half Marathon route, so look for us if you are running the race! And speaking of runners, we have a group of dedicated runners who are raising money for our programs by collecting sponsorships for the race.
