Formed in 1984, the Bayou City Road Runners (BCRR) has grown into a very unique and distinctive running club in Houston. Many club members are "serious" runners, some do it to control weight, some do it for fitness, some for the challenge, but one very common theme among BCRR members is "let's have fun". Members span the spectrum from among the fastest in Houston to, frankly, some of the best back of the packers. To be a member, you don't have to be fast, you don't have to run long distances, in fact you don't even have to run, you just have to think that it's a good idea. And one other thing, you have to like purple, because that's the team color.
