Fundraising for Registration (FFR): This allows
runners to raise money for the Sunshine Kids Foundation. To participate in this
program, runners commit to fundraising at a minimum, and in exchange, they
receive an entry into their desired race.
HERO Registration: This option allows runners to
obtain a guaranteed entry into the Chevron Houston Marathon or the Aramco
Houston Half Marathon by purchasing their entry at a reduced price and making a
one-time tax-deductible donation of at least $350 to the Sunshine Kids
Foundation, an official RFAR charity partner. Additionally, HERO runners can
continue fundraising for The Sunshine Kids Foundation through a personalized
fundraising page.
Just Fundraise: If you don't want to participate
in the race, you can still raise money for the Sunshine Kids with no required
fundraising amount. When you donate or raise $350+, you are also eligible for
HERO perks, which include private pre-race bathrooms, a hat, and a custom back
bib, as well as a Sunshine Kids team running shirt, hat, and pin!
2027 Corporate Partnership Program: Corporations
can partner with the Sunshine Kids team on race weekend. The Corporate
Partnership Program actively encourages wellness, team building, and charitable
giving within your organization and alongside other like-minded companies. For
their participation and fundraising efforts, team members will receive
amenities that will enhance their race weekend experience! We encourage you to
partner with us and have participants run the Chevron Houston Marathon, Aramco
Houston Half Marathon, or We Are Houston 5K.
