Walkers and runners may meet at 6 p.m. at Rogue Running, 500 San Marcos St.; 6:30 p.m. at RunTex Riverside, 422 W. Riverside Drive; or 7 p.m. at RunTex Lake Austin, 2201 Lake Austin Blvd. They will follow the hike-and-bike trail around Lady Bird Lake, and the run/walk will conclude with a group photo at City Hall.

A bike ride is also planned. Cyclists may meet at the Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge at 6 p.m. For more information, go to www.makethemovement
