HOUSTON: It’s a growing trend, but a healthy one, as more desis show their passion for long distance running every year by taking part in the Houston Chevron Marathon, which was held this past Sunday, January 17 over a 26.1 mile (42 km) track that snaked through some of the trendiest neighborhoods and district of the Bayou City.

A tradition I started in 2003 has been spreading to family Friends we have five Marathoners (26.2 Miles/42 Kilometers) and we have lots of half marathoners (13.1 miles/21 Kilometers) starting from age 12 to age 65. Proud of all of them.”Soni Vaswani on her FB page: “Chevron Marathon 2015!! It’s that time of the year again!!”

As many of the runners posted their pictures on the FaceBook pages, it’s only fair to share them with the rest of us to show how proud we are of their achievement. Here are a few samples. We probably missed quite a few, but if you send us the posts, we’ll add them to our Indo American News FB page.
