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.

2020 HARRA Fall Series

The Fall series of Marathon Warm-Up races has begun.  Although most of the races are virtual, HARRA will still be awarding Ironfoot awards to everyone that completes the Fall series.  HARRA will also be calculating points for Club awards.  Club awards are calculated per participation, no times. Since the races are virtual (except for Kia 30K in Sugarland), there will be no team competition.

We would like to give a giant welcome to the newest members of BCRR! We look forward to seeing you when club activities resume!
