Extra Exposure


Check out the training page on the Chevron Houston Marathon web. If your club is a member of HARRA you just received some extra exposure.

Maybe Brant Kotch read Jon's blog discussing the high race entry fees....and decided to give some back to the local running clubs with a little PR.

I could be very wrong (which I have been before and will be again), but those decisions don't really belong to Kotch. They're Karpas' to make and Jan Nierling takes care of making them happen.

The Chevron Houston Marathon is sponsoring the HARRA Just For Kids Fun Run this year so it is a win-win.

Brant Kotch took the time out of his busy day the day before the race to speak with me a little bit about his very good friend, Jerry Fuqua, who closed RunSport late last year, for a story that Edwin wrote for Footprints.

I really appreciated the hospitality that he and Megan Mastal - the marathon's PR representative - extended to Edwin and I so that we could try and cover the event from the floor of the Expo.

I, however, won't be doing it this year. I'm best served by simply running the race this coming January ... and more than likely, it will be my last Houston Marathon to run.

Finally, I'll be transitioning my HARRA duties to someone once I find somebody to replace me.
