Let’s have a picnic! We are going to be firing up the grills and waiting for you to join us at BWRC’s annual family and friends picnic! BWRC will provided hamburgers, veggie burgers, hot dogs and the trimmings. Bring a side dish or appetizer to share and whatever beverage you would like to drink! We might need one or two grills for grilling.

Join your fellow BWRC members for beer and burgers at Mikerphone Brewing! No running involved! The food truck, Bikers Dude Burgers, will be there. We have heard they have a big following and usually run out of burgers so if you want one...arrive around 4:00!

A quick fun run from Eddie’s then back for fun times! All paces and distances are welcome. If you can’t make it for the run, stop by afterwards.

Meet at Eddie’s Restaurant located at 10 E Northwest Hwy for a fun run and food afterwards.

SAVE THE DATE - ALPINE RUNNERS EVENT

Join the Alpine Runners in welcoming Chicago Marathon Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski, who will speak about the upcoming 43rd Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Carey will also talk about changes to and safety procedures for the race and answer any questions you may have. Whether you’ve run 50 marathons or are training for your first, come join us to hear Carey and be inspired.

Carey will also have some Chicago Marathon giveaways to hand out. Stay tuned for other prize announcements...

This is also an opportunity to get together with fellow runners to offer advice, give encouragement, and share your race experiences and plans.

Event: Chicago Marathon Talk with Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski

When: Wednesday, Sept. 22, 2021, 6 PM (see note below)

Where: Breezewald Park, 125 N. Old Rand Rd., Lake Zurich (event is outdoors)

NOTE:

Limited parking is available next to the Sunset Pavillion on the lake.  Parking is also available in the lots across the street and in the spaces along Main Street.

We will be set up at 5 PM, so come early to park, grab a beverage at the pavilion, and mingle with your fellow runners.

Don’t forget to bring a lawn chair!

BWRC is pleased to host a supported 20-mile run for its Marathon Training members. The run will consist of two 10 mile loops of Busse Woods with water and Gatorade stops available along the way. Members should plan to carry their own gels or chews as these will not be provided.

The 20-mile run is self-timed. However, we encourage runners to run with familiar pace groups if they plan to run with a pace group during your marathon. If members plan to run the marathon solo, then plan to do the same for the 20-mile run. The goal of this run is to try to replicate a race setting.

WE NEED HELP!

While BWRC plans to deliver a fully supported event, this is only achievable through the volunteer efforts of its members. BWRC members, friends, family members, are all welcome to come out and help out at one of three water stops. We are seeking at least eight volunteers per water stop (24 total). Volunteers can inquire by emailing us below.

Detailed course information is available via Strava. Strava members can also export the GPX or TCX file and load the course information to their watch in advance of the run.
