This Just In...
John's Looong Run 12/27 - This was a "must attend" endurance event for all hardcore Houston Marathon participants. Dozens of BCRR faithful were there testing themselves (in near stifling heat). Some did the full 21 miles. Many ran shorter distances. All enjoyed a great after party courtesy of John and his breakfast team. Click here to learn more.
BCRR Volunteers Make it Happen! - The Jingle Bell Run (held Sunday, 12/14) was a great example of BCRR's volunteer spirit. More than 50 BCRR members donated their time to help ensure a great event for all the runners. The club has a long history of supporting Houston area running events, and that volunteer spirit was ringing bright on Sunday. THANK YOU BCRR for making this event possible!
Christmas Lights Run - December 17th was our annual Christmas Lights Run. We met at the Rose Garden in River Oaks and enjoyed a brisk run through their winter light's wonderland. This VERY popular event is a perennial favorite. Learn more on our calendar (at right) or check out our Facebook page.

Our Volunteers Rock! - A big shout out to everyone that volunteered at the Alex's 5K race on November 1. All the runners enjoyed a great experience; and the event raised money for a great cause. THANK YOU! Learn more at www.Alex5k.com.
BCRR Ran Strong at X Country Relay Sept 27 - Wow, BCRR had a lot of runners (and cheerleaders) out there at Spotts park to represent the club; and many members won awards for their performance. GREAT job!! Those hills are not easy, but BCRR ran strong and looked good. Learn more on Tornados' website.

SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: We're looking for good sports. BCRR has some VERY dedicated volunteers, but a few new helping hands would be highly appreciated. Nearly every weekend there is something we need help with. Can you lend a hand? Contact any board member for the most urgent needs. |
