Houston Food Bank looking for runners to join its Run for Food Team

The Houston Food Bank's Run for Food Team is pleased to be one of the 62 official charities participating in the 2014-2015 Chevron Houston marathon Run for a Reason charity program. This is the 11th year our team has participated! Last year the team raised over $80,000 to help fight hunger in our community.

We’re looking for runners to join our team! You can be a veteran runner or a beginner. It’s a major accomplishment to become a finisher and the Run for Food Team is here to cheer you to the finish line. 

The race lottery opened on Wednesday, June 4, but if you’re interested in running and want to skip the lottery and receive guaranteed entry into the race of your choice, you have several options:

1. HERO: Skip the lottery and guarantee a race entry into 2015’s race with a minimum donation of $350 to the Houston Food Bank, plus the cost of registration (Full $125 | Half $115). Don’t delay – we only have 7 spots remaining.
2. Fundraising for Registration: Runners can receive one of our spots for the marathon or half marathon by committing to raise a minimum of $750 on behalf of the Houston Food Bank. Contact Brooke Curtis at 832-369-9312 to sign up! 
3. Large Group or Corporate Team?: We can secure entries in bulk. Contact Brooke to learn how at 832-369-9312.

Even if you’ve already entered the lottery you can still be part of our team! Consider becoming a fundraiser or donate. Select the Houston Food Bank as your charity of choice during or after race registration. All you need to do is set-up a fundraising page. If you’re not chosen in the lottery, please consider Fundraising for Registration.

We have many activities planned to show our appreciation for the Run for Food Team:

1. Special Volunteer Day
2. Complimentary Carb Load Dinner during race week
3. Run for Food Team jersey 
4. Dedicated cheering team for our runners on race day
5. Happy Hour Awards Party celebrating our team with awards
