Al Lawrence to Speak at HARRA Summer Celebration
HARRA has scored another coup in getting another local Houston great to speak at its annual Summer Celebration on Saturday, June 7 at the historic Heights Fire Station on 12th at Yale Street.
The Olympic bronze medalist in the 10,000 meters at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, Al Lawrence has been a fixture in the greater Houston running scene for nearly 50 years and will speak about his experiences and the evolution of distance running in the Houston area during that time.
A year ago, 1972 Houston Marathon winner Danny Green - aka The Woodlands High School boys track and cross country coach Dan Green, who trained with Al in the late 1960s and early 1970s, spoke at the Summer Celebration after back-to-back years of nationally recognized speakers in Bart Yasso and Jeff Galloway.
Listening to: "Please Be San Antone" - Sunny Sweeney
(Hmmm ... this could be the theme song for many Rock 'n' Roll - San Antonio runners.)

Got any more details on the Summer Celebration? I don't see anything on the HARRA website, I'd like to include it in our email out next week.
