THIS WEEKEND, join 

Alex’s 5k Run/Walk & Kids’ K

­

 

Thank you everyone! Last year’s race raised $21,000 for our charities - Avondale House, The Westview School, and Autism Speaks Houston - that’s $183,000 total over the life of our race! This has all been possible due to the participation, philanthropy and volunteerism of our BCRR members!

 

This will be our 12th annual event - once again on the flat and act course at MacGregor Park.  We welcome everyone to participate or volunteer!
