Running club to honor former leader
As a tribute to Levelland High School biology teacher and a longtime race director, the West Texas Running Club is sponsoring the Bobby Birdsong Memorial Levelland Lope. Set for June 8, the race will feature a two-mile run and a 10k-course.
The Levelland Lope was directed by Birdsong from 1980, when he founded the Levelland Lope, until 1988. Laura Lappe, spokeswoman for West Texas Running Club, said the course was a good place to strive for a personal record, because it was on flat terrain.
