THE BLUE TEAM
The Big River Racing Team was formed to give competitive post-collegiate and masters runners an opportunity to be a part of a team again, to enjoy the camaraderie of a new group of training partners and to offer some financial help with buying all the shoes and apparel it takes to run thousands of miles. The Team had a great first year in 2006 highlighted by the mens ninth place finish at the US Club Cross Country Championships. Team members have run under four minutes for the mile, finished in the top ten at the Boston Marathon and qualified for the US Olympic Trials.
If you want to be a part of the team all you have to do is let us know. Send Ben an email at ben@bigriverrunning.com or come by the store and talk to Ben or Matt about joining the squad. Team members receive sizable store discounts, are eligible to receive travel money for certain National Level Races and are eligible to receive cash bonuses based on winning local races and achieving certain qualifying times.
