Houston-area Club Newsletter / Web Site Activity
I attempt to keep everyone in the loop on what the various clubs in the greater Houston area are doing via their own newsletters or club web sites.
One of the newest clubs in the area is The Woodlands Running Club. The club, which will affiliate with HARRA and the RRCA, is an outgrowth of the Wednesday night "Woodlands Track Club" that did speedwork sessions with legendary The Woodlands HS (McCullough, for you old-timers) track and cross country coach and 1972 Houston Marathon winner Danny Green. The north side of the greater Houston area has generally been underserved by a majority of the running clubs. In time, it is likely that TWRC will change that. As of April 6th, they were already reporting 34 members.
Although not affiliated with HARRA, the Seven Hills Running Club in Huntsville has had its April '06 "Hill Peek" newsletter online for about half of the month. Within is a nice race report by Sam Houston State University professor Dr. Christopher Wilson on the Bataan Death March Marathon near Las Cruces, New Mexico.
I've been waiting for both the Houston Striders and the Bayou City Road Runners - two clubs who typically pull down most of the attention in this area - to post their April '06 electronic versions of the their respective newsletters, "Stridelines" and "The Bird" online.
In the meantime, I noticed that the Bay Area Running Club has refreshed its website a bit and has posted an electronic version of "The BARCer" online for May '06. Additionally, the Houston Masters Sports Association is going through a major redesign of its web site.
That's all that's new on the Web for now!
