Volunteer Group Bonus Program 

The VGB Program is designed to support our local non-profits by providing unique and fun volunteer opportunities throughout race weekend. As a thank you to your organization the Houston Marathon Committee will make a donation based on how many volunteers provided and complete their shift(s).

• VGB Requirements:
  • • Must be a 501(c)(3) organization and provide proof of status to the Houston Marathon Committee
    • All members of the group must be registered for the same volunteer position to receive credit
    • The minimum number of volunteers that must complete their shifts is 20. The donation structure is as follows:
      • 20 – 29 Volunteers = $300
      • 30 – 39 Volunteers = $350
      • 40 – 49 Volunteers = $400
      • 50 – 59 Volunteers = $450
      • 60 + Volunteers = $500

The 2026 Volunteer Group Bonus Program is now closed. Please check back later for 2027 opportunities.
