of events. The whole gang got in on the actions. Addison had a blast at
the Toddler Trot, Isabel collected last place at the diaper dash,
Christina ran the 10 Mile in 1:24, and Andrew tackled the marathon in
2:49.. The leaves were turning and the weather was cool and crisp,
making for a gorgeous and favorable day to race. |  |

Stage 2 - Oct 15 — Cullen Running Center - Memorial Park
Stage 3- Oct 22 — White Oak / Stude Park | Harvest Marathon Relay benefitting Houston Food Bank | BCRR Runners, On
Sunday, November 1 there is a great opportunity to support the Houston
Food Bank while RUNNING! The Houston Food Bank will be sponsoring a
fundraising Relay Marathon, and BCRR is going to sponsor two or three teams
of 12-13 persons each ($1000 total paid by BCRR), so we just need
runners! If we can gather 12-13 people per team to run 2-2.25 miles
each (1/4 mile at a time) we can do a good deed for the Houston Food
Bank, and get some good PR for BCRR, and have a lot of fun doing it!
This year there is a special addition to the Relay, the Organizers are
assembling a team of runners to make a try to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORD for a MARATHON RELAY! It is likely to be a very exciting day as these ultra-fast sprinters rocket around the track! Please let me know if you are interested in helping out.
The Relay Marathon is Sunday, November 1, at 7:00am, on the Wendell D.
Ley Track at Rice University. I hope that you will join us!
