The HARRA XC Relay is was held September 17 and BCRR was well represented. BCRR entered 15 teams in this cross country race at Spotts Park, and won numerous awards. This was the first race of the HARRA Fall Series. The next race in the series is the Space City 10-Miler on October 9.
Awards Banquet - The BCRR Awards Banquet was held at St. Arnold’s Brewery on May 25, and it was a wonderful night of fun, food, and friendship. The club recognized outstanding achievements, special volunteers, and selected a new board. If you missed it, read the BCRR Birdfeed blog to learn all about it.

No Church Parking on Ash Wednesday - We are asked to NOT park at First Christian Church for the Wednesday 2/10 night run and Valhalla get together. The owners of the lot need it for Ash Wednesday services. BCRR members can honor the request (and keep us in good standing with our host) by using street parking or Rice parking lots. |

BCRR Earns Finisher Medals - A lot of BRCC members powered through the Houston Marathon, or Half Marathon, Sunday (1/17) to earn the coveted finisher's medal. These beautiful medals represent the holder conquered a grueling test of dedication and can be displayed proudly. Equally dedicated were the dozens of BCRR volunteers that helped make it all possible. Congratulations, and thank you, to all! This is one of those events that really make our club shine, and we've got the pictures to prove it. Check out our Facebook page for all the fun.

John's Looong Run - The 15th anniversary of John's Looong Run was Sunday 12/27. The full route (found here) wound 21 miles through west Houston and offered a great opportunity for one last long run before the Houston Marathon. The weather was hot and muggy, but the spirits were high, and everyone loved the hot breakfast John (and volunteers) served. A big THANK YOU to John for this perennial favorite. A good time was had by all!
