Running it back to the ’80s & ’90s with the Mavericks
Over 950 runners gathered at the starting line at Victory Plaza, near American Airlines stadium, to race around downtown Dallas for the 5th annual Mavs Foundation Run This Town 5k on September 13.
“It’s been raining so I think everyone’s ready to get out. It’s a perfect day for a race,” the Mavs personal DJ Poison said. “There’s children, older people, everyone literally. It’s probably one of the most diverse crowds.”
Ivy Awino, who goes by DJ Poison, entertained at this event for the last three years. People from all corners of Texas gather at this event every year, but Awino noted this year’s event as one of the most diverse groups he’s seen yet.
