What is your Reason2Race?

Challenge yourself to get to your next health goal!

Transform yourself by simply walking or running.

Baylor College of Medicine is committed to your health and well-being. We created this page as a resource and as a way to challenge yourself to reach your wellness goals. We are spotlighting a series of races that will support you in keeping active while having fun at the same time. We are also sharing a few one-time area favorites. The list is not complete, as there are hundreds of events happening throughout the year.


If you need extra motivation, we also encourage you to dedicate your walking or running event to a cause you love. Take on the Baylor College of Medicine Charity Challenge. The program is designed for our staff and students to not only participate in a team-building, health-related event, but also to give back to our community.


Walk or run a 5K, 10K, Half, or Full Marathon in honor of your favorite cause. As you journey to the finish line, you get to be accountable to something bigger: the success of our nonprofit community. Let spreading awareness and raising funds for your charity motivate you to reach your personal health goals.
