Runners know that carbs can aid endurance. And endurance is what the 22,000 people participating in Sunday’s Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Houston Half Marathon need.
So to help runners properly fuel before the races, a number of Houston restaurants will roll out the pasta carpet, featuring pasta dishes or menus:
Quattro, Four Seasons Hotel: Chef Maurizio Ferrarese has created a “Carboholic” buffet featuring protein- and carbohydrate-rich dishes, including spinach and cheese tortellini, Mediterranean pasta salad, country-style potato salad, penne with sausage and sun-dried tomatoes, and orecchietti with grilled chicken and vegetables. The Quattro buffet is $46, plus tax and gratuity. 1300 Lamar, 713-650-1300.
Voice Restaurant and Lounge, Hotel Icon: A $29 three-course, pasta-tasting menu devised by chef Greg Lowry will be available Friday-Sunday. 220 Main, 832-667-4470.

Jen Rhines capped her return to the half marathon distance by putting away strong challenges from Serena Burla and Nan Kennard to win the 2011 USATF Half Marathon Title in Houston and $12,000 in 1:11:14.
The thirty-six-year-old Rhines was the credentialed veteran in Saturday's race (she had made 3 Olympic teams, including one in the marathon, while the rest of the field combined had made one). However, despite making the Olympics in 2004 in the marathon, after subpar performances in the longer distances in 2006, Rhines abandoned the longer distances of the half marathon and marathon to return to the track. Until last month, when she won the Rock N Roll Las Vegas Marathon in a 1:14 tune-up, she had stayed away from the long distances on the roads.
How would she fare versus a more competitive field?"
