What is Run for a Reason?
Run for a Reason is the official charity partner program for the Chevron Houston Marathon. Each year, 60+ local charity organizations become partners as a way to raise support for their missions. Members of the community who are interested in participating in the full marathon, half marathon or 5K are encouraged to make their miles matter through representing a charity and fundraising on their behalf as they prepare to run. We'd love to have you join Team Avondale House!

The following are important dates and milestones regarding the Fundraise For Registration (FFR) participants:
January 7, 2025
The runner must have raised their fundraising minimum (as prescribed by your charity). If the runners do not have the minimum fundraised by this date, their bib will be held at packet pickup. (Runners will be able to be waived by the charity if they wish to and this will be the deadline for waiving runners as well). They will need to either show proof of having met the fundraising minimum or pay the remaining balance in order to pickup their bib. Alternate arrangements will be allowed on a case by case basis to be discussed with the charity administrator.
January 31, 2025
Last day to fundraise! 2025 Fundraising Campaign closes.
