Who is BARC? BARC members are very diverse in professional background, age, running interests and running goals. Some members compete regularly in road races, others simply enjoy getting the BARC weekly electronic newsletter. Some members run 80+ miles per week while others run only a few miles per week. Some members have been running daily for years; others have just begun. All BARC members share one thing, and that is an interest in running and the company of other runners. BARC members, like most runners, tend to be friendly and support their fellow runners. What does BARC do? WE RUN. We get together and talk about running. We have socials, and we sponsor road races in the Clear Lake area, such as the Lunar Rendezvous 5k at NASA in mid-July. We have specified times during the week when we get together and run in groups, for those who want to run with others. Sometimes we even travel in groups to novel races outside of the Greater Houston area. We try to provide opportunities for members of all abilities to achieve their running goals. We also compete in team competitions and take part in local races. We encourage members to join HARRA to score points for BARC in the fall and spring series of races. But, you need not be a star to enter and compete on these teams, as just participating counts. We run first for enjoyment and fun, and then for standings. We give out scholarships annually to two deserving high school seniors, and meet monthly to update members on current running and club news. Where is BARC? Most BARC members reside in the Clear Lake/NASA area, including Clear Lake, League City, Pasadena, Kemah, Webster, Seabrook, and Friendswood. We do, however, have members from other parts of the Greater Houston area as well as from other parts of the country and world.
