Participate with Houston SPCA for the Chevron Houston Marathon

Run For A Reason

Whether you’re an avid marathoner or just want to stroll a 5K, you can meet your goals and support a local mission at the same time! You don’t even have to run at all to be part of the Houston SPCA team. Fundraise, be a HERO, or even just donate to not only prioritize your health and fitness, but help animals in need, too.

How to Register

Interested in participating with Houston SPCA in the Chevron Houston Marathon Run for a Reason Program? There are a few ways to join the team.

Fundraise for Registration

In order to participate, you can commit to our fundraising minimum of $300 to $550, depending on your race of choice. We will cover your race entry fee once your fundraising commitment is met!

HERO Registration

Purchase your entry at a reduced price and pay a one-time donation of at least $350 to fast-track the process! Plus, you can still fundraise after registration if you'd like.

Just Fundraise

Not sure you want to run, but would like to support the team? Say no more! You can just contribute to or host your own fundraiser.
