Posted by Bonnie on Nov 20, 2013 in Events | 0 comments

Only a little over two weeks to go until the second “official” CRC distance race this season! To help promote the event, CRC is chartering a bus from Cypress to College Station – whoo hoo! Members should have received a special link in their newsletter earlier this month to sign up and reserve a seat. Only a few are still remaining! CRC is also coordinating a group packet pick up for members, as there is no race day pick up offered. If you would like to add your name to the list of packets being picked up, make sure to comment on this Facebook post, or email info@cypressrunningclub.com.

Weather was ideal for runners for crossed their very first finish line cheered on by family members and members of CRC.

If you are interested in tackling your first 5k, Cypress Running Club will be offering “No More Excuses” to 5k training starting after the new year.
