BARC Meeting:  The next BARC meeting shall be Monday, 8/9/2010 at 7:00 pm at On The Run. 

Up for a Challenge? 

The BARC Middle Distance Championship Series will comprise the Lunar Rendezvous 5k, Outriggers 5k, and the Toughest 10k. Scoring will be based on your 10k time plus your best 5k time. There will be six $50 gift certificates on the line for BARC members to be awarded as follows:

Open Men and Women
Masters Men and Women (Age Graded basis)
Two Lottery Winners, anyone who finishes two out of the three races will be entered

Any BARCer who runs or volunteers at two out of three from Lunar, Outriggers, and Toughest 10k will earn a memento from the BARC goodie bag. And yes Lunar packet stuffing counts as volunteering (note: one must actually stuff one packet or more to receive credit as standing around, socializing and stuffing food instead of packets does not count).
