Running For Food Update
What's new ....
On Sunday, January 17, 2021, I will be hitting the streets to run my 11th Houston half marathon to support the Houston Food Bank. My goal this year is to raise $30,000, which would be close to what you donated for the 2020 event. Here is the status update:
- The Harvest Marathon Relay (shown in orange) was a successful as a multi location, socially distanced, real time, competitive race. This year, it contributed a little less than half of the total fundraising objective.
- As of today, online/offline donations and the Sugar Land Turkey Trot (shown in green) contributed about 1/3 of the remain fundraising objective.
- The shortfall (shown in black) is about 1/3 or roughly the equivalent of 30,000 meals.
LUNCH: If you have capacity to donate, please consider donating what you would have spend on a typical lunch, $10-20, which is enough to feed 1-2 people for over a week.

What's next....
Last year, I planned to have a free event in March, and well you know what happened.....
I am working on doing something again this spring which has the fun feel of a race while realizing that we are not through the pandemic yet. If you are interested in helping, let me know by using the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page, or by emailing to robert@runningforfood.com
