How Running in the Chevron Houston Marathon Can Help Rescue Animals

(January 24, 2024)

Running isn’t just a sport; it’s a powerful stride towards compassion. At the Houston SPCA, each step taken in the Chevron Houston Marathon becomes a beacon of hope for our animal friends.


Marathon participation is more than a physical challenge; it’s a remarkable opportunity to raise funds that directly support our mission. The generous donations from our dedicated runners and their supporters enable us to provide vital resources for rescue animals. They play a crucial role in transforming the lives of animals who have faced adversity. Every dollar raised contributes to enhancing the lives of animals awaiting their new homes, from nutritious meals to medical care and cozy beds. From rescue missions to rehabilitation efforts, our ability to make a lasting impact is fueled by the collective determination of our marathon participants. Their commitment helps us rescue, heal, and rehome animals in need.

Participants from the 2023 Chevron Houston Marathon Race.


The Chevron Houston Marathon is a platform where runners become advocates, using their passion for running to champion the cause of animal welfare. By lacing their shoes and hitting the pavement, participants raise awareness about the importance of supporting organizations like the Houston SPCA. Their efforts create a ripple effect that extends far beyond the marathon route, creating a community dedicated to making a positive change for animals.


As we gear up for the Chevron Houston Marathon, we invite you to join our cause.
