Weekly Workouts

Howdy BRC! Every year, the Brazos Runners Club partners with the BCS Marathon series to provide volunteers for the Oktoberfest & BCS races each year. We’re in need of volunteers again for this year’s BCS Marathon on December 8th!

Please take a look at the linked volunteer form and consider donating some of your time and effort to help keep the race running strong! As an added bonus, volunteering gets you a very good chance at some swag, a discounted race, and possibly some free shoes!
