Greetings Bayou City Road Runners

The Word from the Bird

What's Down the Road?

The marathon is done. Now what? The fun continues with the HARRA Spring Series! Now that you've finished the long miles of the Houston Marathon, why not back off the distance and enter the excitement of the next five races in the HARRA Spring Series? The races are varying lengths, and as a BONUS they usually offer discounted admission to members of BCRR! Mark your calendar:

  • Feb 18 - HBA Fun Run 8K
  • March 4 - Bayou City Classic 10K
  • April 1 - Bellaire Trolley Run 5K
  • May 13 - LP Run
  • April/May (Date TBD) - Bayou Bash Relay

This group of VIP fans at the Chevron Houston Marathon know that few runners make it across the finish line all on their own. Very often, the magic ingredient that provides energy when legs are running out of gas, is the support of friends and family cheering along the way. 

Share Your Race

You just ran the Chevron Houston Marathon or Aramco Half Marathon! Wow! Share your story and photos with the BCRR newsletter. Did you PR? Did you run your first? Did you persevere? Did you volunteer? Let us know! Send your report and/or photos to ThatsJoesMail@Gmail.com by tomorrow (Jan. 24) to be included in the next addition of the BCRR Newsletter!

Sundays Need Hydration Support

Who likes water during the Sunday long runs? Especially in the summer! Our Sunday morning hydration team could use a little more help as people go on vacation. Please contact Loris at Loris0105@yahoo.com for more information on how to volunteer!
