Lace up for a coastal winter run across Galveston Bay at the Texas City Half Marathon, 10K, 5K & Family Mile, set for Saturday, December 6, 2025. Following the scenic stretch of the iconic Texas City Dike, this welcoming event merges flat, fast racing with community charm and waterfront vistas.
Participants tackle a 10‑mile out‑and‑back along the dike with sea‑breeze views, followed by a loop through a vibrant park to cross the finish line in style. The course is fully closed to vehicular traffic, ensuring a safe, uninterrupted experience, capped off with finisher medals, local food and drinks, and age‑group awards.
The event welcomes runners of all levels, from competitive half marathoners to families enjoying the Family Mile. Para, wheelchair, handcycle, and age‑group divisions all take part, with early‑morning start times tailored by category. Registration gives access to tech shirts, timing chips, and post-race hospitality in a small‑town environment enhanced by waterfront energy.
What sets it apart is its location: miles of open roadway hugging the shoreline, iconic dike views, and a flat, fast profile that’s rarely available near a coastal bay. Runners praise the efficiency of organization, the water‑lined scenery, and the joyful finish‑line community vibes.
