THE SUMMER OF 2017: ANOTHER GREAT TRACK SERIES

It has been a busy summer for your club. Our Track Series is now completed, including 5 meets. We had runners of all ages, from toddlers on up, and we have sub 5 minute milers and first time track runners. We even have a Steeple Chase and Snow Cones! This is truly unique. Congratulations, everyone!

(IT IS NOT!) TOO HOT TO TROT and VOLUNTEER at BRRC!

On August 20th , we had our long running Too Hot to Trot, 10k race on the NCR Trail at Sparks Road. About 100 participated in running this race, which was also our 6th of 8 Grand Prix Races. And, where you’all really shine, was our enthusiastic band of volunteers. It is gratifying to see us out there spreading the gift of running!

Thanks to our Race Directors Valencia Hike and Adria Lucca, and our Volunteers Rachel Rosenblatt, Nut Hall, Maureen Hall, Karen Meddows Carey, Charlotte Weatherbe, Jade Steele Hunter, Adam Bussey, Samantha Santy, Bridge Fergie, Chris Waitt, Mini Falcon, Rhandi Lawrence, Tammy Hecker, Robin Holt, Nolanda Kirby, Henry Peck, Yolanda Carter Artis, Pamela Williams-Bonner, R Renay Baker, Cheryl Vaughn, Kathryn A Tanner, Lin Conway, Diana Sisilli Bostian, Karen Malinowski, Michael Wright, and Darryn Waugh.

FALL TRAINING PROGRAM

Our Fall Training Programs have begun. These programs are targeted to the experience level of runners (i.e. beginner, intermediate) and are scheduled to prepare runners for a target race.

BRRC Training Programs are directed by RRCA-trained coaches who are members of the Club and runners themselves. Other RRCA-trained coaches who are Club members also help with the programs as volunteers.

If you are a new or experienced runner looking for a disciplined approach to training, we welcome your participation in our programs. There is NO COST to participate, but Club membership is required. Participants meet at Goucher College on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30 PM, and at Loch Raven Reservoir on Saturdays. Go to brrc.com/training-programs for more information.

And, Heads Up! Our Middle Distance Training Group members includes a discount to their goal race, our flagship NCR Half Marathon on November 25th. But you need to join soon!
