<p>Earlier this week, the <a href="http://www.chevronhoustonmarathon.com/">Chevron Houston Marathon</a> (scheduled for Sunday, January 14, 2018) canceled its scheduled Run for a Reason Kickoff Party for the <a href="http://www.chevronhoustonmarathon.com/run-for-a-reason/charity-program-info/">race’s charity program</a> while its host site, the George R. Brown Convention Center, served as a shelter for evacuees and displaced flood victims. Many of the race’s charity partners (including the <a href="http://www.houstonfoodbank.org/">Houston Food Bank</a>, <a href="http://www.houstonspca.org/?referrer=https://www.google.com/">Houston SPCA</a>, <a href="http://www.kidsmealshouston.org/">Kids’ Meals</a>, <a href="https://water.cc/">Living Water International</a>, <a href="http://www.montrosecenter.org/hub/">The Montrose Center</a> and <a href="https://www.rmhhouston.org/">The Ronald McDonald House Houston</a>) have already designated funds for recovery efforts.</p>
<p>“By coming together and showing support for our local charity partners that already support so many of the challenges we face daily, this is the strongest opportunity runners have to make a substantial impact to Houston,” said Muffy King, manager of communications and press operations at the Houston Marathon Committee. “<a href="http://www.chevronhoustonmarathon.com/foundation/houston-marathon-foundation/">The Houston Marathon Foundation</a> will continue to support our partner organizations with missions to assist community and youth initiatives who have been affected by the hurricane. This will be integral in helping rebuild the city and its individual communities and help provide a return to normalcy for the running community.”</p>
<p>In the meantime, several upcoming fall marathons around the country are working to partner with the Houston Marathon on fundraising initiatives in the coming months. Maine’s <a href="http://www.runmdi.org/">Mount Desert Island Marathon</a>, scheduled for Sunday, October 15, has added three Houston-area charities, the <a href="http://www.runmdi.org/hurricane-harvey-relief/">Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund</a> (organized by Houston mayor Sylvester Turner), Houston SPCA, and <a href="https://www.unitedwayhouston.org/">United Way of Greater Houston</a>, to its <a href="http://www.runmdi.org/charity-bibs/">charity bib program</a>.</p><div class="zeus-teads-container mobile"></div>
<p>Around the country, <a href="https://www.fleetfeetsports.com/">Fleet Feet Sports</a> stores are holding individual shoe and clothing donation drives in addition to participating in “<a href="https://www.fleetfeetsports.com/blog/hurricane-harvey">Shoes for Houston</a>,” an event asking customers to bring new or gently used footwear and socks into stores.</p>
<p>Fleet Feet is asking athletes to bring their shoes tied in pairs by the laces, and labeled on the back heels by gender and size (for example, M12 for men’s size 12 and W9 for women’s size 9). All socks should be paired together as well. Collections will be shipped to a San Antonio store location before being trucked to Houston and possibly other communities along the Gulf Coast.</p>
<p>“Shoes and socks are one of the biggest things people need the most right now, and that’s something we can help with,” said Robyn Goby, vice president of development, Fleet Feet Sports, Inc. “There is currently no deadline in place to do this; we will be collecting and shipping shoes for as long as the need is there.”</p>
<p>Similarly, the <a href="http://ironmanfoundation.org/">IRONMAN Foundation</a> (the charity division of IRONMAN and the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series) has created its <a href="https://www.crowdrise.com/ironman-for-relief-harvey">Harvey Relief Effort</a> online fundraiser, while also organizing <a href="http://ironmanfoundation.org/harvey-volunteer/">local volunteer service projects during race week</a> at the <a href="http://www.runrocknroll.com/san-antonio/">Rock ‘n’ Roll San Antonio races</a> taking place December 2-3; the <a href="http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/events/americas/ironman-70.3/texas.aspx">IRONMAN 70.3 Texas</a> on April 8, 2018; and the <a href="http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/events/americas/ironman/texas.aspx#/axzz4rRmfWqHY">Memorial Hermann IRONMAN Texas</a> on April 28, 2018.</p>
<p>Other local and nationwide running events include:</p>
