The following are announcements from Laguna Vista City Manager Rolando Vela:

1st Annual Du It By the Bay Duathlon

At the September 12 regular meeting, the Town Council took action to support the 1st Annual Du It By the Bay Duathlon (2 mile run/10 mile bike/2 mile run) scheduled for Sunday, January 28.  This is a partnership between the Town of Laguna Vista and PowerWatt Coaching, LLC.  More details to follow soon.

Laguna Vista 5k/10k Run

The 1st Annual Laguna Vista 5K/10k Run is scheduled for Saturday, October 28 at 8am.  We are getting ready to set up the registration link.  There will be an entry fee of $20 (goes up to $25 after October 21st).  The first 200 registrants will receive a finishers medal.  We are contracting with Athlete Guild, which will do the finish line set-up (clock, standard tower, and banners); the race clock; provide the participants the disposable chip timing, and will set up the online registration service

Proceeds of this event will help support the Laguna Madre Youth Center.

National Night Out

National Night Out is scheduled for Monday, October 2 from 6pm to 8pm at Roloff Park.

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.
