Run for a Reason is the official charity partner program of the Chevron Houston Marathon, connecting runners with meaningful causes throughout the community. Each year, more than 60 local nonprofit organizations participate, offering individuals the opportunity to make their miles matter. Whether running the full marathon, half marathon, or 5K, participants can choose to represent a charity and raise funds as they train, turning their personal goals into lasting impact.
We would love for you to be part of Team Avondale House!
This year is especially meaningful as Avondale House celebrates its 50th anniversary – a milestone made possible by the dedication and generosity of supporters like you. There’s no better way to honor this incredible moment than by joining Team Avondale House and running in support of the individuals we serve.
Your participation goes far beyond race day. Every mile you log and every dollar you raise helps provide essential programs and opportunities for adults with autism to continue learning, building connections, and thriving in a supportive community. Together, we are not just running, we are creating brighter futures!
We also encourage you to register as soon as possible. Race capacity is filling quickly! Tier 4 has already sold out, and registration is currently in Tier 5. With the event expected to sell out soon, now is the time to secure your spot and join the team.
Join us, represent Avondale House, and be part of something bigger.
