BCRR had an outstanding showing at the HMSA Classical 25K
on Sunday. At least 29 runners toed the line in either the 25K or the
10-Mile race and many others were there to support, cheer and photograph
along the course. The weather was lovely (although runners would have
preferred a bit cooler) - it was optimal conditions for spectating and
après-run socializing.
