About the Watermelon Dash San Antonio

The Watermelon Dash is the final race in a summer series, following earlier installments built around the same idea: short races with a refreshment theme to keep people moving through the hot months. The series as a whole has a backyard-cookout feel rather than anything resembling a serious time trial.
