Week 23 – Saturday, 12/22/18

Hi Y’all,
The Holiday spirit is in the air, kids are about to get out of school and the Christmas break is around the corner. Whatever you’re doing during the holidays, I hope your life is filled with joy and happiness.
We have one of our longest scheduled runs of the season for both the full marathon and half marathon group this Saturday. Try to find a friend to help you knock out this long run.
If the Aramco Half and Houston Marathon are your main races, it’s time to start practicing your race day nutrition, hydration and plan.
If you’re driving/traveling during the Christmas break, please be safe and have a Merry Christmas.

#PARR Party
Our year-end Annual party is on January 12, 2019 and registration is open. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE try to attend and register ASAP if you intend on coming. You may have difficulty registering on your phone or PDA and may need to register on a desktop or laptop computer.
These step by step instructions might help (you probably need to do from a computer too.). Be sure you are logged into the PARR Website
  1. Go to https://goparr.com/parrty/ or choose End of Season PARR-ty from the Member’s Area menu. Click on the graphic.
  2. Select “Member Ticket” first. You will need to select your drink of choice before you click “Add to Cart.” We’re not necessarily going to hold you to this, but it definitely helps in our planning efforts.
  3. Please note that each registered Member will have to register themselves under their own log in. We realize there are families that are all members, but we had to limit the FREE admission to ONE per member.
  4. Once you’ve added yourself to the cart, you can also add a guest(s) the same way.
  5. Once you’ve got your guest registered, click VIEW CART and checkout.
  6. If you’re not bringing a guest, then PLACE ORDER. If you are bringing a guest(s), then it will ask for your payment information.
  7. If you have any questions, please email info@goparr.com. We do our best to respond to these emails within 24 hours.
#PARRMisc
1st Annual Pearland Half Marathon and 10k – March 24, 2019
The early bird pricing on this race will end in a few days so if you intend on running this race, please register before the end of the year.
This is a PARR Sponsored event so we hope many of you will join us by making the first year a great success. You can make it a family event by encouraging your family members to run/walk the 10k. Registration is open by following this link.
Additionally, PARR members should consider volunteering for the event if not running.
