Half Marathon Map
Unique, Scenic, the Dike & Bay Street Park
The Course: A Serene Scenic Beauty
Wide-open water. Big Texas skies. A remarkably flat 13.1 miles. With just 39 feet of total elevation gain, there is plenty of room to settle into your rhythm and take in the views across Galveston Bay.
Enjoy approximately 11 miles along the waterfront and 2 miles through Rainbow Park. Run out along the Texas City Dike with the bay beside you, then bring it home to a park finish full of race-day energy.
Start beneath the black Lone Star Series inflatable on Dike Road. Finish inside the park beside the covered gazebo.
