About the UTHealth Houston Half Marathon & 10K
The Houston Striders, an all-volunteer running club with deep roots in the city, put this one on. The course is mostly flat, which suits anyone coming in with a time goal, and the organization behind it leans heavily toward charitable work. A portion of proceeds goes to local nonprofits, and runners can raise additional funds for causes of their own through the race's giving program.
