Title

Welcome to BCRR!

Description

Formed in 1984, the Bayou City Road Runners (BCRR) has rapidly grown into a very unique and distinctive running club in Houston. Many club members are "serious" runners, some do it to control weight, some do it for fitness, some for the challenge, but one very common theme among BCRR members is "let's have fun". Members span the spectrum from among the fastest in Houston to, frankly, some of the best back of the packers. To be a member, you don't have to be fast, you don't have to run long distances, in fact you don't even have to run, you just have to think that it's a good idea. And one other thing, you have to like purple, because that's the team color.

The real reason many of us are members is the great social agenda. The basic weekly Wednesday evening gathering at Valhalla, a pub on Rice campus is the focal point for members. Rain or shine, all year long, members gather for beer, peanuts, pretzels and conversation after a run around campus or just after work. We party after almost every HARRA Championship race and sometimes for no reason at all. We have an annual "Carbo Loading" dinner before the Houston Marathon, an "Awards Banquet" in May, a golf tournament in the Spring, a beach party in August, softball games during the summer and something new, a bowling tournament. The tournaments and softball games are just for fun, and members take them as seriously or not as they please.

Yes, there are road trips. We've sent groups to the Paris and Barcelona Marathons, as well as New York, Boston, Chicago, Austin and Dallas. We always have a number of teams running the Corpus Christi Relay Marathon and trips are being planned for the Bolder Boulder and more overseas marathons and races.
