Galveston Marathon & Half Marathon 2027

The Galveston Marathon & Half Marathon is a race weekend on Galveston Island, Texas, featuring a Boston-qualifying marathon, a half marathon, and a 5K. The marathon course is flat and fast, offering experienced runners a solid opportunity for a qualifying time. The 5K provides a shorter option for runners and walkers during the same weekend. The marathon and half marathon routes traverse Beach Town and East Beach before following the Galveston Seawall, with views of the Gulf of Mexico. The event accommodates wheelchair, hand cycle, and other adaptive athletes, with courses designed for accessibility. Marathon and half marathon participants receive long-sleeve technical shirts, 5K participants receive short-sleeve shirts, all finishers earn medals, and the event concludes with food and beverages at the post-race gathering.
