Sunday Long Run Hydration
The Sunday Long Run has been supported throughout the pandemic by a handful of members. Thank you to Loris, Lisa/Avi, Jeff Wittig, & Scott Bounds! Now - we could use some additional volunteers to help keep BCRR hydrated.
BCRR is looking for volunteers who can drop off & pick up individual water bottles to EITHER the Shell Gas Station or the Rose Garden - 1 or 2 Sundays a month. Please email christinabcrr@gmail.com to volunteer.
BCRR will reimburse or provide water bottles to the volunteers.

HARRA will also be calculating points for Club awards. Club awards are calculated per participation, no times.
