HARRA RACE INCENTIVE
BCRR is continuing our race participation reward program. It’s designed to thank our HARRA Series Runners and encourage future HARRA Series participation… a raffle of FREE entries to HARRA Series races!
Following the last race in the HARRA Spring Series, BCRR will raffle off a free entry to each of the Fall Series races. All BCRR members who are also HARRA members and ran at least one Spring Series race will be eligible to enter the raffle. AND, the more races you ran, the greater your chance of winning a free race entry, because your name will be entered into the raffle for each Spring Series race you ran.
HOW IT WORKS: Run (HARRA Series races)!! And then run some more! And then after your race, mosey over to your computer and email your name and the Spring Series races you ran (relays count) to sgrahmann@gmail.com with the subject line “BCRR Raffle.” Runners can send emails after each race, or wait until after the final race to email their entries. Remember, for your race to be “raffle eligible” you must be a member of both BCRR and HARRA at the time of the race. The deadline to email entries is May 21, 2016. Raffle winners will be notified by BCRR with information on how to claim their free entries.
Stay tuned to the weekly BCRR email for details and reminders on the raffle submission deadline, and keep running!

WEEKLY CLUB RUNS:
Mellow Monday- Join us every Monday for a 3 mile recovery run around Memorial Park at 7:00p.m.Runners who are interested should park on the east side of the parking lot in front of the softball fields off of the Picnic Loop. The goal is to increase membership and recruit new members with this new social event. Following a loop around Memorial, we head to a dinner venue for post running fun. **Please note that in cases of inclement weather, i.e. thunder & lightning, Mellow Monday will be cancelled for safety reasons.
Wednesday at Rice University: Every Wednesday evening we meet at 6:15 at Rice University (run leaves at 6:30 pm sharp!). All levels are welcome. And the best part is the cheap beer at Valhalla afterwards. Parking is available at First Christian Church/School (1628 Rice Boulevard).
To park in the church parking lot, you need a BCRR bumper sticker. Please see Lisa Thompson for a sticker if you do not already have one.
