Come Be Bold in the Cold!
Join us for the 26th running of Bold in the Cold, Lake Grapevine Runners and Walkers (LGRAW) club's signature Winter event. Choose from a 5K or 15K race, both wind through the scenic C. Shane Wilbanks Trail along Lake Grapevine, offering breathtaking views of the lake.
This race is not only a community tradition but also a vital part of LGRAW’s annual operating budget, supporting our members and programs. In addition, 30% or more of this year’s race proceeds will be donated directly to the LGRAW Scholarship Fund benefiting local area track and cross-country runners.
