Texas City Half Marathon, 10k, 5k, & Family Mile

Texas City Half Marathon, 10k, 5k, & Family Mile takes place in Texas City, Texas, on December 5, 2026, with four staggered starts: the half marathon (13.1 miles) at 7:00 AM, the 10K (6.2 miles) at 7:30 AM, and both the 5K (3.1 miles) and the Family Mile at 10:00 AM. The routes follow the Texas City waterfront and the Texas City Dike, giving you views over Galveston Bay on roads closed to traffic.

Flat coastal miles and a traffic-free course make the half marathon a sensible choice for a first attempt at the distance or for a personal best, provided you have built to a weekly long run of 10 to 12 miles over about 16 weeks. Wind off the bay is the variable to respect, so run by effort rather than by pace when it is in your face. Finishers in every distance receive a medal, with food, drinks and overall and age-group awards afterward.
