Run Your Buns Off in the 27th Annual Schlotzsky's(R) Bun Run(R) Benefitting
Austin YMBL Sunshine Camps

City's longest-running 5K scheduled for Sunday, May 3; long-sleeve t-shirt
contest winning design to be revealed

AUSTIN, Texas, April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- For the 27th year in a row, Austinites
will get their buns in gear for the annual Schlotzsky's(R) Bun Run(R), the
city's longest-running 5K that hosts a current average of 5,000 competitive
runners, casual joggers, walkers, dogs and onlookers of all ages for plenty of
fitness and entertainment.

Scheduled for Sunday, May 3 beginning at 7:45 am at South First Street near
Auditorium Shores, the 2009 Bun Run is organized by the Young Men's Business
League (YMBL), and all proceeds benefit Austin YMBL Sunshine Camps, YMBL's
program for at-risk and disadvantaged youths. Austin YMBL Sunshine Camps'
adventure and scholarship programs send kids to camp and teach leadership,
team-building and trust, with the ultimate goal of eliminating the high school
dropout rate and increasing college participation. The Bun Run raises an
average of $50,000 annually for the camps.

Based on the success of last year's inaugural t-shirt design contest, race
organizers once again left the look of the famed long-sleeve race t-shirt up
to the public. Voters in the online contest chose from five finalists'
creations, and ten random participants received free Bun Run entries. The
winning design will be revealed the weekend of the race, with the artist
scheduled to receive the $1,000 grand prize during the opening ceremony. The
other four finalists each won $100.

Additional events during this year's Bun Run include the pre-race expo from 9
am to 6 pm on Saturday, May 2 and the Lil' Bun Run 1K on the same date at 1
pm, both at Auditorium Shores. For complete details or to register for the
2009 Bun Run, visit www.bunrun.com. Registration forms are also currently
available at local Schlotzsky's locations as well as all RunTex stores.
