BCRR has a great History with Darling Dash

This is the 13th year for the Darling Dash and BCRR has helped them by managing the road race. There will be a 10K, 5K and a Kid’s K. The As One Foundation, the race sponsor, is offering a $5 discount when BCRR members register. You must register as follows:

Team Name = TeamBayouCityRoadRunners

CASH BONUS: The club will contribute $1 for each BCRR entrant until we reach 50 BCRR entrants. A random drawing from all BCRR entrants will win one person the cash!

Volunteer: If you will not be running, please join BCRR's long-time volunteer extraordinaire Mike Mangan on his volunteer crew!

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!

Please maintain social distancing prior to and following club runs.
