Be A HERO
There are three ways to participate in the Chevron Houston Marathon’s Run for a Reason: Fundraise for Registration or HERO Registration.
- Fundraise for Registration (Half-Marathon & Marathon): you raise $600 for the Houston SPCA to secure your spot, and we pay your entry fee!
- Fundraise for Registration (5K): you raise $300 for the Houston SPCA to secure your spot, and we pay your entry fee!
- HERO Registration: your spot is guaranteed by donating $350 to the Houston SPCA and paying registration cost.
When you donate, you automatically qualify for 1st-level HERO benefits, but you can achieve HERO status by fundraising the minimum.
