Join the Friends of Fonde Park Running Club: Run Towards Holistic Wellness!
Are you looking for a dynamic way to engage with your community while embracing fitness? The Friends of Fonde Park invites you to join the Friends of Fonde Park Running Club!
The Friends of Fonde Park is a non-profit organization dedicated to actively preserving and improving Fonde Park for the benefit of all Houstonians. Our entire mission is rooted in Corinne Fonde's vision of "Recreation as Civic Engagement," which means fostering holistic wellness initiatives and community empowerment. By participating in the Running Club, you are directly supporting our goals of providing educational and recreational outreach.
The FOFP Running Club is a core initiative of the larger Fonde Fit Collaboration. We are excited to offer weekly runs on Mondays at 7 PM. We meet at the Playground area (scroll down to see the map)

We are looking forward to promoting and participating in special community events, including:
Monday Runs (join our WhatsApp group by registering, it's free).
Special events like the FOFP Hot Chocolate Run (in December TBD).
Wellness Events throughout the year, keep checking back for announcements.
Our Running Club is strengthened through collaborative partnerships. The Fonde Fit Collaboration has already been awarded (2025) $4,500, and we work closely with the Rice Long Distance Club. We benefited from liaisons who are Rice Long Distance Squad members.
When you run with us, you are joining an initiative that is focused on community empowerment and positive change. We actively promote the #RunClubequity campaign as we work to ensure accessibility and community preservation.
Lace up your shoes and become a part of a growing movement dedicated to park stewardship and community development & activation.
