The GeekRun is a social and sports gathering for those who love running and are a bit geeky too (well, it's SXSW after all)! Participation to the GeekRun is free! Please come to the meet-up point already changed into your running gear.   We will meet up at the lobby of the Austin Hilton Hotel and from there engage on a light 30' run by the riverside.    The GeekRun will be a way to do some physical activity during SXSW (and burn a few of those BBQ-induced calories) and socialize with fellow attendees... and why not, show off your geeky running apparel and devices.   We will run for approximately 30 minutes at a low to medium pace and the idea is to move together as a group, no one left behind. After the run we'll do a 10/15 minute stretching session and after that you can go back to your accomodation to take a shower and get ready for the first panels of the day! (SXSW panels start at 9.30 am).   The GeekRun is organized by Gianfranco Chicco from Frontiers of Interaction, an Italian conference on technology and interaction design that aims to bridge the American and European innovation hubs.
