Discovery Green invites Houston Marathon to Make a Mark in the Park

This winter Discovery Green is celebrating the Houston Marathon’s 30 years of giving through the development of the Chevron Houston Marathon Run for a Reason charity program.

In honor of this charitable legacy, and the Marathon’s over 50 years of running fun, Discovery Green will gift the Houston Marathon Committee a commemorative paver located at the finish line in Discovery Green.

The Discovery Green Conservancy is proud to have welcomed runners as the post-race party host for 16 years. In addition to providing an uncommonly beautiful urban greenspace, the Conservancy’s mission is to be a source of health, happiness and shine a light on the traditions that enrich life in Houston. Hosting the Houston Marathon in Discovery Green has been an incredible opportunity to showcase the best the city has to offer.

An Opportunity to Make Your Mark

From November 1 to December 1 make a $300 donation to inscribe a message of your choice commemorating a special run you’ve accomplished, or a special runner in your life. Your message will be engraved on a paver at the Houston Marathon finish line alongside the Houston Marathon Committee’s paver.

Your donation supports the Discovery Green Conservancy and our commitment to serving Houston, its treasured institutions and charities. In fact, in just one year Discovery Green supported over 25 nonprofit partners like the Houston Marathon. Your donation ensures Discovery Green’s 12 acres remains freely accessible by all for relaxation, entertainment and running.  

In addition to Making Your Mark with a commemorative paver, you’ll be invited to the January 8th unveiling of the Houston Marathon Committee’s paver alongside your special message.
