Satellite Marathon: Houston

The Operation Jack Marathon will have a satellite marathon in Houston thanks to the volunteer efforts of John Strohmeyer. The race will count as an official marathon with Marathon Maniacs and all participants will receive a medal and t-shirt. All proceeds from the race will directly benefit the Operation Jack Autism Foundation.
The foundation, manned solely by volunteers, serves to benefit autism-related charities, primarily Train 4 Autism, as well as other worthy causes. Train 4 Autism helps people raise money for any autism-related charity of their choice.
