Team NAM is a successful marathon training program benefiting NAM and it will begin its fourth season this July leading up to the 2009 Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Half Marathon next January.
NAM is an official charity of the marathon. Last year runners raised more than $31,000 to help support NAM’s programs and services. NAM is a multi-program social service agency that helps area families in need.
Training program registration is set for 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. July 12 and 19 at Meyer Park, south entrance. The Team holds group runs at 6:30 a.m. Saturdays starting from Meyer Park on Cypresswood Drive just west of Stuebner Airline Road. Early registration is discounted at $50 (youth $25) if postmarked by the end of June. Completed registration forms along with checks payable to Marathon Team NAM should be mailed to 15306 Parkville Dr., Houston, TX 77068.

Volunteers administer and coach the non-profit training program. Participants are asked to commit to raise at least $300 in sponsor pledges for NAM although Team NAM members in the past typically raise higher pledge totals.
