The Texas Military Department Mabry Days | Open House is an annual event designed to welcome the community to Camp Mabry, in Austin, Texas and provide guests an up close look at its Texas National Guard. Through demonstrations, displays, and personal interaction the public is educated about the missions and capabilities it provides the citizens of Texas.
Held in conjunction with the American Heroes Air Show, an admission-free all-helicopter aviation event, the open house attracts approximately 20,000 guests each year. From helicopter demonstrations, World War II reenactments, children's activities, and much more, this event contains something for everyone!
The mission of the North Texas Trail Runners is the promotion and encouragement of long distance trail running and the education of the public to its benefits. NTTR is about fun, fellowship, and supporting each other!
NTTR is very active in the local trail running community. We continue to hold monthly "trail rodeos" as well as supporting local trail maintenance. We have amazing volunteers that help with local races. We've donated to each the following local, trail-run supporting organizations: Back on My Feet Dallas, Friends of the Grasslands, GallantFew and Town North Optimist Foundation.
The organizational meeting of North Texas Trail Runners was held at the Irving, Texas home of Fred Holmes, club organizer and first president, on April 18, 1996. On the agenda was planning of the inaugural Rockledge Rumble 50k.
