Join the Healthy Heart Hustle 2025: A Virtual Challenge with Heart!
This February, Houston Pets Alive! invites you to participate in the Healthy Heart Hustle, a month-long virtual marathon challenge celebrating American Heart Month and the health benefits of pet ownership. Research shows that owning a pet can improve heart health—and this event encourages you to stay active, raise funds, and help save at-risk cats and dogs in need.
Commit to completing a marathon (26.2 miles) between February 1 and February 28 and set a personal fundraising goal of $500 to make a difference for pets in need. Track your progress and fundraising efforts throughout the challenge, and see the impact you're making firsthand!
Want to take on the challenge with friends? Form a team and hustle together, or go solo and set your own pace—either way, every step you take helps save lives!
🎉 Celebrate at the Hustle for Health Fest!
The challenge wraps up with the Hustle for Health Fest at The Powder Keg on March 1, 2025 (10am-2pm), featuring:
Sand volleyball, pickleball, and cornhole tournaments sponsored by our friends at Sportskind
