Program Enhancements

The Run Houston! Race Series and the Bayou City Half Marathon Series have combined their charity programs under the Run Houston! For a Cause program.  New 2018 enhancements include team registration links, and for every person who registers (once 5 registrations are met) your nonprofit will receive a $3 donation per registration.

Example

If you have 7 people register, you will receive a $21 donation.

The Details

  1. The program now includes 8 events, the 5 Run Houston events and the 3 Half Marathon events:
  1. The donation prize purse for each Run Houston event is $1,500.
  2. The donation prize purse for each Half Marathon/5K event is $2,500.
  3. You can now create your own specific “nonprofit registration link” on the race sites.

Currently only the hyperlinked events above are open for registration.

Next Step

We suggest you create your special nonprofit (Step 1) registration links for all open events or at least for your target event(s).

Benefits of doing this

  1. You will be able to track which of our team members are actually registered for the event. (no more guessing)
  2. If your team members mistakenly don’t use your “special reg link”, we can “add them into your group.”
  3. You get email notifications when people (maybe those you don’t know) register for the race using your special reg link.
  4. You can then invite those new people to “join your team” and fundraise for your cause.
  5. Once you have 5 registered, the race will donate $3 to your nonprofit for each person registered.
  6. Your nonprofit gets exposure on each race registration site.
  7. Even if you are not “targeting” a specific race, you may increase chances of finding athletes to fundraise for you at that event.

Again, we suggest you take time to create your special nonprofit registration links for the above open events.
