Austin Marathon Gives Charity Program

About Austin Marathon Gives

The Austin Marathon Gives program connects non-profit organizations to passionate race participants willing to fundraise and raise awareness for causes that give back to our local community. Individuals can select one of our Official Charities to run with and add even more meaning to their training and race day miles by supporting a worthy cause.

Since its inception 10 years ago, the program’s charitable donations have raised over $5,500,000 for Central Texas charities.
