Past Events
HARRA Pre-Marathon PASTA PARTY - Thursday, Jan. 11, 2024: BCRR participated in a community-wide carbo-loading party organized by the Houston Area Road Runners Association (HARRA). This low-cost event welcomed all members of the Houston running community to come together before the Chevron Houston Marathon Weekend. The event was well attended by BCRR members. There were runners from many clubs as well as unaffiliated runners. A great opportunity for runner harmonization. Kudos to HARRA for organizing, but especially to all the BCRR members who volunteered for the event, particularly Susan Cita who single-handedly pulled all the food service together. This event would not have happened without BCRR volunteers!

John's Looong Run - Dec. 17, 2023: Our annual tradition a great success! The event begun by John Phillips well over 20 years ago for BCRR had a new twist this year. Due to the cancellation of the 30K, we partnered with HARRA and the Houston Striders open the run as a FREE supported long run to the entire Houston running community. Over 200 runners joined us to run the 20+mile course! Most Importantly, we had fun, made new friends and showcased what our great club has to offer! After the run, BCRR runners and their guests convened at Sue and Alan's house for a full breakfast with all the amenities.This party is truly one of the highlights of the year!
Holiday Lights Run - Dec. 13, 2023: Our annual run around River Oaks was a great success! In partnership with the Houston Area Road Runners Association (HARRA), we opened BCRR's annual run through the lights of River Oaks to the entire running community. See Map. We had well over 50 runners join us! A good number of the runners joined us after the run at Kenneally's Irish Pub where we filled the back room, enjoyed refreshments and food, played darts, and gave away gift cards and free race entries to Alex's 5k, Bayou City Classic (provided by HARRA) and Poppy's Run for Life (provided by Caryn Honig). Most Importantly, we had fun, made new friends and showcased what our great club has to offer!
Space City 10: Our friends at BARC served as host for the HARRA Fall Series event the Space City 10 Miler on Oct 8, at the University of Houston – Clear Lake Campus. The weather was great and so were our runners! Ron Morgan and Theresa Pearsall held a terrific post-race party at their home afterwards.
