Not in the in the race? Not a problem!

Hi everyone! Some important reminders and news:

1. By now, most of you know that the Marathon and the Half Marathon are closed. So if you didn't get to sign up, and are wanting to go out and run, this are some options: (a) sign up for the 5k the day of the marathon and you can do it in the same website (b) sign up for a race in Sugar Land that is going to be the weekend before the Chevron Marathon and can look up more details and register at USA Fit Marathon and they have full and half marathons (c) There is another race in Kingwood on New Year's Day more information here.

2. Please, for those of you that are in town, reply to the evite so I can make the proper arrangements by Sunday.

3. Very exciting news!!! Alejandro has signed up for the Kids Fun Run 1K Adaptive Race the Saturday before the marathon. Alejandro will be doing the race with his tricycle and will be pushed and pulled by two of his friends! We are in pure joy and happiness... It is so awesome that he can participate in a fun and meaningful way. Hopefully we will have our team shirts (if we get enough sponsorship) and they will be able to run with beatSMA shirts! I am almost jumping of the excitement.

Few Reminders and Announcements

1. Important! The Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco 1/2 Marathon Registrations start tomorrow July 17th. Go to the website to register and for details. Also to remind you that the entry fee goes up after July! So don't wait!
