Welcome to the Galveston Marathon, where runners, walkers, and adaptive athletes of all levels can challenge themselves along the stunning Gulf Coast. Set against the backdrop of Galveston’s scenic waterfront, this event features a Boston-Qualifying Marathon course,  Half Marathon, and an inclusive 5K for all participants.

The Marathon & Half Marathon course takes you through Beach Town and  through East Beach, stretching along the iconic Galveston Seawall,  offering breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico. This flat, fast  course provides the perfect opportunity to chase a personal best or  secure your spot at the Boston Marathon—ideal for both seasoned  marathoners and those aiming for a new challenge.

At  the Galveston Marathon Weekend, we are proud to host wheelchair,  hand cycle, and other adaptive athlete-friendly events. We are committed  to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for athletes of all  abilities, and our courses are designed to be accessible to everyone.

Registration includes a commemorative technical shirt (long sleeve for  Full and Half Marathon; short sleeve for 5K), finisher medal for all  events, food, and drinks at post race party.
