On Sunday January 19^th cheer on the Run for Food Team at the 2014 Chevron Houston Marathon & Aramco Houston Half Marathon. This race is the largest single day sporting event in Houston!

The Houston Food Bank’s Run for Food Team has participated for the past 10 years in the Run for a Reason charity program. It gives runners the opportunity to reach the finish line while benefiting their local communities.  In 2014 we have more than 70 runners racing in support of our mission to fight hunger.

To support our Run for Food Team, the Houston Food Bank will have a Hoopla Station at Mile 3.5 at the Wells Fargo drive-thru just west of West Gray and Waugh. This allows for volunteers, family and friends to participate in the excitement of race day by cheering on the runners.

After the race, we will congratulate the runners on their finish at the 2014 We Are Houston RunFest in the Jones Lawn at Discovery Green. The festive atmosphere of RunFest is a great place for friends, family, and runners to celebrate with interactive games and numerous vendors representing the Houston area. RunFest is also home to the Run for a Reason Charity Village, which highlights all of the participating marathon charities.

Join the Houston Food Bank at Charity Village for giveaways and pictures with Corey, our green apple mascot. We hope to see you there!
