GOOD MORNING BAYOU CITY ROAD RUNNERS!!
*Sorry for the duplicate emails. The Dodgers are clearly messing with the internet as well as the Astros....*
************************************************************
Alex’s 5K & Kids K is here!! The race is Saturday, November 4th, at MacGregor Park. Registration is open at www.alex5k.com
Please consider running or volunteering to support a great cause that is near and dear to the club!
The Rockets Run will also be held Saturday, November 4th! We still need 4 BCRR volunteers to help man the race, as this is a large revenue builder for the club. Please reply to the email to volunteer for either race.

Halloween Weekend Wrap-up
Lisa’s Halloween Party was a spooky night full of creative costumes and clever cross dressing! Thanks to all who attended!
The weather for Sunday's Houston Half Marathon was perfect for the numerous PR’s and runners who recovered their speed after a sweltering summer. Congrats to all who ran!!
Thank you to Paul & Sue Schulz for a great post-race party of pizza, beer, and ice baths – the true key to recovery!
