RUNNERS

Dont' want to take your chances with the Marathon lottery?  There are two ways you can support YES Prep and be guaranteed an entry in this year's race:

 

HEROES Registration -

With a tax-deductable donation of $350 of more to YES Prep plus the registration fee you will be guaranteed a spot in the race of your choice.  There are spots avilable for the Marathon and the half.  These are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis, so sign up today before they are all gone.  Visit HEROES Registration page to secure your spot and support YES Prep.

 

Fundraising For Registration

Commit to raise $1,000 for YES Prep by November 15th, 2010.  This option does not require you to pay any money up front, but you must sign a commitment form by August 17th (registration is not complete until all funds have been collected).  YES Prep has Marathon spots and half Marathon spots available.  For more information or to request a commitment form, contact Allison Poarch.  Once signed, you can set up your fundraising page on the YES Prep Campaign Website.  From there, you can direct your friends, family and co-workers to your own personal page where they can donate anytime before November 15th to reach our collective goal. 

 

 

NON-RUNNERS

You can still be a part of the YES Prep team.  Make a donation, get a t-shirt and join us on race day. 

 

Finally, join us on Thursday, September 16th at Memorial Park from 5p - 7:30p as we celebrate the 2011 race season with the Houston Marathon Committee.  There will be booths distributing fun things and registered runners can pick up the limited edition "In Training" shirt.
