Congratulations to our 2025-2026 Scholarship winners.
With the success of the 2025 Wurst 5-miler race, the New Braunfels Running Club (NBRC) was able to award $7,500 in high school scholarships. NBRC treasurer Vicki Ralph and NBRC president Paul Schaefer presented the scholarships recently. Pictured from left to right are Ralph, scholarship winners Franea Olmos of New Braunfels High School, Carlee Sturm of Canyon High School, Mollie Allen of Canyon High School, Ellie Huf of Canyon High School, Alexis Gillette of Canyon High School and Schaefer. The Wurst 5-miler race is held annually on the first Saturday of Wurstfest. This year, the race is scheduled for Nov. 7. Money raised during the event not only provides scholarships to entering college students, but it also provides funds to the CHS, NBHS and Long Creek High School cross country teams.

Data for Fischer Park Loop: 1.55 miles. I walked it both counter clock-wise and clock-wise. I suggest running counter clock-wise because of the one steep hill at ~ mile 1. Do two laps and you have a great 5K work-out. Recorded with a Garmin 745.
Anybody got different data?
