Run for Food Team

On Sunday, January 18th cheer on the Run for Food Team at the 2015 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 11 years in the Run for a Reason charity program. This program gives runners the opportunity to not only run, but to raise funds to benefit local non-profits. In 2015, the Run for Food Team has grown to more than 200 runners racing in support of the fight against 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. Corey, our green apple mascot, will be there for photos and the excitement. Just show up, and we will provide the noisemakers, signs, and breakfast from Dunkin’ Donuts. Make sure to arrive before 6 a.m. to avoid road closures.

Check us out Friday, January 16th and Saturday, January 17th at the 2015 Memorial Hermann IRONMAN Sports Medicine Institute EXPO at the George R. Brown Convention Center. Stop by our table to get some race day goodies from our sponsors. When you visit the EXPO, don’t forget to bring a can for the Aramco Food and Fund Drive to benefit the Houston Food Bank. Just look for the food donation bins before you enter the packet pick-up chutes and you will receive a gift from Aramco!
