Seabrook Lucky Trail Marathon & Half Marathon

The course then turns left onto the trail that runs alongside Todville, which runners follow for approximately the next 1.3 miles all the way to the intersection between Todville and Red Bluff Road, where they turn off and enter the woods once again. Inside this forested area, known as Pine Gully, runners take another right when they reach the gully and follow the trail east as it crosses over Todville Road and takes them to Pine Gully Park, which features perhaps the race’s most scenic views, as it overlooks Galveston Bay. After circling the park, runners then begin the trek back toward Meador Park along almost exactly the same route they’ve just run, with the exception of some additional mileage along Pine Gully Extension and a run alongside the opposite side of Hester Gully on the return route. Along the way, the field also crosses a boardwalk and runs past a cemetery, and thanks to the length of the trail, participants tend to see lots of runners coming and going in both directions as they complete the race. Organizers also have come up with a unique way to keep runners energized and entertained in recent years by holding up signs posted with trivia questions at regular intervals, followed by the answers to the questions about a third- or half-mile down the trail.
