To all of those affected by Hurricane Harvey in the Houston region and beyond: Our thoughts and well wishes are with you as the recovery process continues.

Like many others who have already given back to the community, the Houston Corporate Run 5K has decided to play its part in giving back as well.

We are enacting a ‘First Responder Bib’ program. For each person who registers for the Houston Corporate Run, we will be offering a first responder a free race bib and access to our post-race hospitality tent which we have renamed the “Houston Heroes Post-Race Tent.”

​It’s a simple way for our corporate teams and individuals to show support for and interact with those that served others during this tough time in our city.
