The Brownsville Marathoners Running Club, a non-profit organization, has been promoting running in Brownsville since 1976. The main objective of the club is to promote and encourage physical fitness and to educate the public on its many benefits. Another objective is to engage and coordinate with other agencies to advocate physical fitness.
Presently, the running club holds four events thru out the year: The Palm Blvd Mile done in September since 1987. Run for Your Heart-Turkey Trot held the weekend before Thanksgiving since 1982. The Charro Days Classic held in conjunction with the Sombrero Festival in February in the oldest foot race in the Rio Grande Valley since 1979. The Autism Awareness Fun Run held in April. Participation in these races has dramatically increased, due to the fact that more school-age children are being encouraged to participate. Unfortunately, the cost of holding these running events has also increased. To help curtail total expenses, we are asking for any assistance that you as sponsor may be able to provide. With your contribution, we will be able to make our running events more successful.
Sponsor for any of the above running events will have their name of company on all fliers that are distributed prior to the event, along with having it printed on all the t-shirts, posters, news clip, web-site.
Monies accrued during the year are used to award $4,000.00 worth of scholarships to Brownsville graduating seniors who qualify for their accomplishments in track and cross-country during their four years in high school and are continuing a higher education. The Brownsville Marathoners Running Club also assist with BISD cross-country annual activities by providing the finish line set up and refreshments to all runners.
