Join the 2025 We Are Houston 5K presented by Aramco and Chevron, the 2025 Aramco Houston Half Marathon, or the 2025 Chevron Houston Marathon. You don’t have to run to be part of the Houston SPCA team. You can fundraise for registration, pay directly as a HERO registrant, or simply donate. Your support will help animals in need and celebrate all the good that the Houston SPCA has accomplished over the last century!
