BCRR To Raffle Free HARRA Spring Series Entries to Fall Series Runners

BCRR has a new page in its "Operation Beat BARC" playbook, designed to thank our HARRA Series Runners and encourage future HARRA Series participation...a raffle of free entries to HARRA Series races!

Following the Houston Marathon, the last race in the HARRA Fall Series, BCRR will raffle off a free entry to each of the Spring Series races. All BCRR members who ran at least one Fall Series race will be eligible to enter the raffle. AND, the more Fall Series races you ran, the greater your chance of winning a free race entry, because your name will be entered into the raffle for each Fall Series race you ran.

HOW IT WORKS:

Run (HARRA Series races)!! And then run some more! And then after your race, jog, recovery run, stride, mosey, or hobble over to your computer, ipad, Android phone, or electronic communication do-hickey of choice and e-mail your name and the Fall Series races you ran (relays count) to Shelley Grahmann (sgrahmann@gmail.com) with the subject line "BCRR Raffle". Runners can send e-mails after each race or wait until after the conclusion of the Houston marathon to e-mail their entries. The deadline to e-mail entries is January 31, 2015 for the first raffle. BCRR will circulate a spreadsheet of races submitted/raffle entries and will also cross-check the entries against HARRA's data. Raffle winners will be notified by BCRR with information on how to claim their free entries. Then, we'll repeat the whole shebang after the Spring Series, with a raffle of Fall Series entries.

Stay tuned to the weekly BCRR e-mail for more details and reminders on the raffle submission deadline, and keep running!

BCRR Midweek Update- HH Venue Change

Thank you to everyone who reached out to me letting me know that Leon's Lounge is no longer open for business. On that note, this Friday's Happy Hour venue has been changed to Nouveau Antique Art Bar, 2913 Main Street, Houston, 77002 at 6:30 p.m. 

Many of you have so graciously made donations to fund scholarships for my school's running club. If you're interested in meeting and running with them, we invite you to our Steps for Students Kick Off Fun Run and Walk this Saturday, January 25th at 8:00. We'll have parking at the Saint Francis of Assisi School lot at 5100 Dabney Street, Houston, Texas 77026 starting at 7:30. Runners will then walk to the bayou one block towards the church. For those of you recovering from Houston, it will be a short, easy run- nothing over 3 miles.

Happy Wednesday and have a great rest of your week!

We'd like to extend a special thanks to Sam McMurtry and Susan Cita for organizing and coordinating the Pre-Marathon pasta dinner at the Spaghetti Western. 

Thank you to Rosie for collecting and carting our marathon gear to miles 13 and 20. 

Thank you to the volunteers at mile 13 and 20. The smiles, cheers, and hoopla made the Westpark hill and the last 6 miles easier because of your kindness and heart!

Thank you to Alan, Sue, Chuck, Cheryl, Jim, and Ivy for coordinating an incredible post race party. The food, beverages, and friends were the perfect equation to a wonderful afternoon. 

Congratulations to everyone who raced yesterday too. We had several runners who shattered their previous PR's and many first timers who had monumental races.

BCRR Midweek Update: GRB Run and Pre-Marathon Pasta Dinner

Join us for a BCRR annual tradition this Sunday (January 11th)! 

Instead of running the usual River Oaks Route, our Sunday run with be the last 6 miles of the marathon (from Memorial Park to the GRB) and back for a total of 12 miles! Gatorade stops at Mile 3 (near the cemetery), at the GRB turnaround (mile 6), and the cemetery again at mile 9. Since it's an out and back course, it's easy to run as little or as much of the 12 miles as you want! We meet at 6:30 am on Sunday morning at the Tennis Center as usual. It's a great way to envision crossing the line one week later. See you there!

Save the Date for the PRE-MARATHON CARB LOADING DINNER:  Get your carb load on on Thursday, January 15th at The Spaghetti Western at 5:30 p.m. Dinner is $15. RSVP to Sam McMurtry at samantha_mcmurtrey@hotmail.com or  sammack1967@gmail.com to reserve your spot.
