Bun Run races, which are sponsored nationally by Schlotzsky's Deli [9] franchisees, are popping up all over the country to benefit local charities. In 1999, nine races were held from Florida to Phoenix, and as new races are added each year, details will be provided on the Web site.
The Bun Run originated in Austin, Texas, birthplace of Schlotzsky's Restaurants, 18 years ago. The Austin Bun Run, sponsored by Schlotzsky's Deli and Coca-Cola, attracts over 4,000 runners and is one of the largest 5K races in the southwest. The Bun Run Web site features vital statistics about the Austin race, printable and online registration, a course map and information on the first ever Austin Bun Run expo village. The Austin Bun Run benefits the Young Men's Business League (YMBL) Sunshine Camps for disadvantaged and at-risk youth.
Schlotzsky's Inc., founded in Austin in 1971, is a franchisor of quick-service restaurants featuring made-to-order sandwiches served on distinctive sourdough bread, along with pizzas, salads and soups. As of Dec. 31, 1999, there were 759 Schlotzsky's restaurants operating in 37 states, the District of Columbia and 12 foreign countries.
