Hello, fellow BTC Members:
Hello, fellow BTC Members:
By the time you read this, we will have just held our annual BTC Run Social from Vulcan Park. This is the biggest BTC Run Social of the year and marks the kick-off for all things Vulcan 10k related. Those of you in attendance had a chance to enjoy great running routes, post-run refreshments, a kid’s fun run, door prizes, music, children’s activities and so much more! I truly enjoy our family-friendly events because they give us a chance to meet your family, and give all of us an opportunity to set great examples for our children who watch our every move. I want to extend a huge thank you to BTC Social Chair Katherine Dease, Run Coordinators Monica Henley and Mark Criswell, our Finish Line Crew Chairs, Tanya Sylvan and Darrell Gibson, and the countless other volunteers who pitched-in to help make this another amazing event.
Speaking of the Vulcan Run 10k, one of the great perks of being a BTC Member is the opportunity to receive FREE training for the Vulcan Run 10k! This is honestly one of the best parts of being a BTC member. Where else can you receive training from certified coaches, all for the cost of an inexpensive $24 BTC membership? There are three different training programs, and one of these will fit you perfectly.
Couch to 10k: If you, or one of your family or friends, have never run a 10k, this is the perfect program. Lead by Coach Danny Haralson of Run University, this training program will make sure you are ready to complete your first 10k in style and have fun along the way. Coach Danny has helped thousands of runners achieve their first running goals, so don’t miss out on this opportunity!
Achieve Your PR: Have you run a 10k before but want to get faster? Not sure how to make that happen? Then join me (Coach Alex Morrow) and the other coaches from Resolute Running as we take you through a training program guaranteed to help you achieve a PR (Personal Record). Not only will you learn a great deal about running, you will attend nutrition and injury prevention seminars to ensure you reach a level of success like never before. Who doesn’t love setting PRs?
Earn Elite: Have you run 10ks before, continually gotten faster, and are now ready to break 42 minutes for the first time? This is the program for you! Coach Cary Morgan of Cadence Run Coaching will be leading the Elite program to make sure you turn in a screaming fast performance on race day. Coach Cary holds a bachelor’s degree in exercise science and a master’s degree in physical therapy. If you are looking to run incredibly fast, Coach Cary has the knowledge and experience to make that happen!
As you can see, we have a fantastic training program in place, and I want to encourage all of you to participate. To sign up, simply visit:
We are looking forward to a great fall of training, camaraderie, and fun as we get ready to run Alabama’s premiere 10k, the Vulcan Run. Make sure to put the race date on your calendars -- November 7, 2015 will be here before you know it!
Kindest Regards,
Alex Morrow
