Virtual Things to do this Week in Round Rock
Every week we published a listing of the top 5 events happening in Round Rock. Well, now that pretty much every single event has been postponed or cancelled, there is not much to report.
However, we have been overwhelmed to see all the Round Rock businesses and restaurants that have been pivoting their businesses to still find a fun way to serve their community. So we wanted to spread the good news and show you fun things you can “virtually” do thanks to Round Rock businesses.

We are excited to debut a new weekly talk show dubbed “Sidetracked” to bring baseball commentary to fans at home. Hosted by Express Manager of PR and Communications Andrew Felts, each 30-minute episode will include interviews with community leaders and Express partners, members of the Express front office, as well as current and former E-Train players and coaches.
The show will also highlight sponsors that are serving the community in various ways and detail programs the Express are hosting for fans to interact with while at home.
Fans can tune into a live broadcast of Sidetracked each Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. on the Round Rock Express Facebook page. Viewers are encouraged to participate in the program by submitting questions for the guests, some of which will be answered live on air.

Healthy Kids Virtual Running Series
Healthy Kids Virtual is an adaptation of the usual HKRS Race Day experience! HKRS believes in leading an active healthy lifestyle. During the time of social distancing, it is important that parents encourage children to stay active!
A Virtual Race is a race that can be run (or walked) from any location you choose. You can run, jog or walk on the grass, on the sidewalk, on the trail, on the treadmill or on the track. Your child will run their age appropriate race distance, at their own pace, and Mom and Dad record the time!
Parents then upload the time after each race into the Series specific results sheet found on our Results Page. Families can also choose their own start and finish line, or if available, use an existing one provided by HKRS! Don’t forget to run the Parent Mile on Week 5 Mom and Dad! Invite your friends from all over to participate with you.
