It plans, promotes, and stages annual multi-race road events, including the Chevron Houston Marathon, the Aramco Houston Half Marathon, and the We Are Houston 5K, engaging thousands of participants and volunteers to deliver Houston’s largest single-day sporting event. The organization also has a history of hosting major national road races and championships, contributing to its standing within the distance-running sector and emphasizing safety, integrity, and quality in its events.

The target audience includes runners and local residents who participate in or are affected by the weekend events, as well as youth and community program beneficiaries supported by the foundation. In recent context, safety considerations have been noted in relation to upcoming event dates, reflecting ongoing operational concerns in event planning for large-scale races.
