LGRAW Race History
Lake Grapevine Runners and Walkers (LGRAW) conducted its initial race Bold in the Cold 15K & 5K in January1999. Later in the Fall of that year, a Half Marathon and 5K was held. This Half Marathon race was changed in 2000 to a 5K & 10K and renamed Double Trouble. Both of these races have now been held for 25 years or more.
