HOUSTON - On Monday, January 12, 2015, the Houston Marathon Committee will host it's annual "Why I Run" media day at Memorial Park on the trail in front of the Tennis Center at 10:00 a.m. Media are invited to interact with the local runners to find out why they run.

Runners participating in the event this year include:
