Then, join us for HARRA’s next race in the fall series – the Houston Half Marathon held Sunday, October 29th! The race begins in downtown Houston, following an out and back course along Allen Parkway.
Post-race party will be hosted by Paul & Sue Schultz at their home (3030 Amherst) beginning at noon!

It’s that time of the year again!! Alex’s 5K & Kids K is quickly approaching!! The race will be held 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 are asking for 8-10 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.
