Running Quotes (New each Week):
The thoughts that occur to me while I'm running are like clouds in the sky. Clouds of all different sizes. They come and they go, while the sky remains the same sky always. The clouds are mere guests in the sky that pass away and vanish, leaving behind the sky.
Haruki Murakami

Come run when the weather is cooler. Now that you have had the summer to put in the miles and maybe participated in some runs, BRRC wants you to continue your activity into the fall by participating in-person at a great fall classic Half Marathon or the shorter 4-Mile Loop. Run the back roads of Colbert and Green Bluff. You will not only enjoy the beautiful scenery, but will get a finisher's medal and sweatshirt, if ordered, for your efforts in the Half Marathon.
The Colbert Half Marathon will be on Saturday September 28th starting at 8:00 a.m.
This year we have added a separate race for only $25 for those who want to do an early early start (Half Marathon Only) at 7:00 a.m. who expect to finish in over 2.5 hours. Age Group awards are not awarded to early starters, but will receive a finishers medal and can order the sweatshirt.
