Join us for the first ever Satoshi Trail Run for Hal on October 26th at Hippo Social Club! Come together with the greater Austin area’s bitcoin community to celebrate the 16th anniversary of Satoshi’s release of the bitcoin white paper (10/31/2008) and experience the best money humans have ever discovered.
The event will feature a trail run to benefit the ALS Network’s Hal Finney ALS / MND Research Fund in partnership with the Running Bitcoin Challenge. Hal Finney was an important early contributor to bitcoin and was the first individual to receive a bitcoin transaction from Satoshi in early 2009; he sadly passed away from ALS in 2014, but his legacy lives on through the Finney Prize and his wife Fran’s tireless efforts to raise awareness and funding for ALS research.
The event will take place at the Hippo Social Club in Hutto and is presented in partnership the Austin Bitcoin Club, Bitcoin Commons, Round Rock Bitcoin Club, University of Texas Longhorn Club and the San Antonio Bitcoin Club.
The Satoshi Trail Run for Hal 2024 has partnered with Tejas Trails to facilitate the race – there will be options for a 5K, 10K, half marathon, kids race, and canine race along the beautiful trail! Food will be sold separately at the event.
Additionally, there will also be a bitcoin market with local vendors and meat served by Chef Johnny. The event will also feature bitcoin 101, games and activities for kids, and speakers from across the local business and bitcoin ecosystem. Recover post-race and utilize the cold plunge and sauna!
