Run with The Faris Foundation in the 2027 Chevron Houston Marathon, Aramco Half Marathon, or We Are Houston 5K! Secure your entry in the nation's premier winter marathon, before prices go up in June. Here are just a few reasons to run with The Faris Foundation:

💛 You'll never run alone: every athlete on our team is paired with a child diagnosed with cancer, in whose honor they run.

💛 Golden laces for all paces: we welcome and celebrate athletes of all experience levels and abilities to run in support of our mission! Every runner receives a special training kit to help them shine bright on the big day (golden laces and much more), invitations to our team-building events, and the support of the most enthusiastic cheer station in town!

💛 And most importantly, run with us, because a child's life depends on it.

Pictured here is Layton, rocking all his gold swag from the Good JuJu Care Package we sent him last month! His mom wrote us a note sharing the impact of this care package: “Thank you so much, he was so excited to see his doctor and tell her all about what he got, and normally going to see his doctor is very scary but for once it was incredibly exciting. You guys do amazing work. Thank you so much for giving my son so much joy and hope and making another doctor visit just a bit easier. 🩷”
