SUNDAY EARLY - GROUP PHOTO Early arrivals to the GRB Convention Center should jump in the club's pre-race group photo! The team will gather for the photo relatively close to where the marathon organizers take their Legacy Runners' group photo. Exact location TBD. Watch Facebook that morning for exact location. SUNDAY DURING THE RACE - SPECIAL SUPPORT - Clothes Drop Full - Runners on the full marathon course (but not the half course) will pass by Chuck and Cheryl's home near the mile-8 marker by Mandell St and Rice Blvd, and are welcome to shed outer layers or extra clothes. The garments will be collected and delivered to Sue & Alan's house for retrieval at the after-party.
- Clothes Drop Half - Runners on the half marathon course (but NOT the full marathon course) will pass by the Museum of Fine Arts at approx 8.5 miles. Hope Seller is hosting a little hoopla station there and offered to collect any outerwear clothes dropped off.
- Hoopla Station - Watch for Susan Cita and her team, hosting a Hoopla Station near mile 20 to render liquid aid, comfort and joy to all the sweaty runners. VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY see sexy note below.
- Water Station - See the smiling face of Joel DuBois near mile 23 as he mans a hydration station for everyone that's still standing.
- Photographer - Our favorite photographer, Milan Jamrich, will be there Sunday looking for runners wearing BCRR or Alex's 5K shirts. Milan will be standing on Bissonnet St shortly before the split off into full and half marathon courses. This is roughly mile 7.5. Not running? He could use a spotter!
SUNDAY AFTER THE RACE - CELEBRATION PARTY The annual celebration extravaganza that is the BCRR Post-Marathon Party once again returns to the warm confines of Sue Leone and Alan Svoboda's home at 326 Terrace. The fun starts at approx. 11 AM and features a swimming pool (bring a towel), a large Jacuzzi, NFL playoffs on TV, hot showers (bring a towel), a buffet of GREAT food and an assortment of "liquid refreshments." All this for a door fee of $10 per BCRR member (guests welcome at $15 per person). VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY see sexy note below. LATER - SHARING PICS AND STORIES After your adventure, share your story!
