HARRA COMPETITION PROVISIONAL STANDINGS
Runner of the Season: Results from the first two races of the HARRA Spring Series
Club and Team Results so far… BARC and BCRR continue to duke it out with BARC ahead in Club and BCRR ahead in Team. Suspense builds...
Sign up and run the Bellaire Trolley Run this Saturday. We are trying to get 100 club members out for the run:
Reasons to run Bellaire:
1) It is the flattest race course of the season
2) It is same distance as one loop around memorial park;
3) Because it is a double loop course you get to see all your friends at least twice;
4) Parking is ez; and
5) You get to venture outside the loop.
Please email your BCRR friends to help the turnout.
