Runners cross the finish line at the marathon


By joining the Ronald McDonald House Houston running team, you are running for a reason while raising awareness and funds for our families.

 

The Run for a Reason program offers guaranteed ways to enter the Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Houston Half Marathon held in Houston every January, and we have race entries for both the half and full marathon and the 5K. Joining our team is easy, fun, and a meaningful way to support our cause. Donations raised through this event will allow Ronald McDonald House Houston to continue providing a home away from home to families with a critically ill child receiving treatment at a Texas Medical Center facility.


WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

Fundraising For Registration (FFR) Entry

This is a guaranteed entry into the Chevron Houston Marathon or Aramco Houston Half Marathon. To gain that entry, each runner needs to meet the fundraising minimum ($500)  by Friday, December 1. Once your minimum is reached, you will receive an access code to register with our team.
