PETE LEAGUE was the Houston Marathon's first race director. He was
transferred from the Bay Area to Houston for his job with Shell in 1971 and
quickly became involved in the Houston running scene. In 1972, he decided
that Houston needed a marathon. There were 138 runners who toed the line on
that day in December 1972 for a five-loop tour of Memorial Park. Pete
directed the first three Houston Marathons, and in April 1975 he went on to
found another local fixture, the Bayou City Fun Run. Pete now lives in
Austin and comes over every year to help out with the Houston Marathon.
