Defining The ClassicsClassic:Noun: a traditional event Adjective: serving as a standard of excellence Let’s start our Classics tour with the 16th Annual U.S. 10K Classic. For the first time ever, you have the opportunity to register at all 4 BPRC locations for the .5K for the 6 and under set, the 1K fun run for ages 7-11, the seeded 10K Run (must have documentation of a 50 minute or faster 10K), and the 10K run/walk. In other words, we provide in-store registration for all races that can be covered on foot, and none of the races using wheels (sorry cyclists, skaters and wheel chair athletes.) This first rate event is a great way to end the summer season in style! Starting at Cumberland Mall, and finishing at White Water, this challenging 6.2 miler always gets a huge crowd, and is really a big rolling party! Save time, register and pick up your race number at BPRC today! ******************** ******************** ******************** ******************** 16 years and going strong is the 5K for Hope Road Race on Aug. 22.
