Karpas Speaks to the Striders!
Prior to HARRA Vice President of Clubs, Roger Boak, presenting the Houston Striders with their 2004 Fall Series Team and Club Championship plaques, hp Houston Marathon race director Steven Karpas addressed the club at its February meeting (which set a new club meeting attendance record).
Some of the highlights (or lowlights, in one case) from Karpas included that 1.) hp would no longer be the major sponsor of the race, 2.) the marathon would not have to worry about crossing the light rail for at least the next four years (with many thanks and kudos to Mayor Bill White), 3.) continue to see the race caps in place at 7,500 apiece for the full and half marathons and probably 4,000 for the 5K and 4.) not to expect to see the 6-hour time limit changed.
The Striders continued to welcome new members as well as giving its club members mugs which commemorated the 2004 HARRA Fall Series "worst to first" wins!
