Mild start, moderate wind challenge

Runners will face temperatures starting at 62°F and rising slightly to 63°F. A moderate wind from the SSE at 17 mph will add a challenge throughout the race. With high humidity at 86%, it's advisable to adjust pacing and stay hydrated. Windbreakers may be beneficial due to the gusty conditions.

Race Info

The Galveston Marathon is held in February at Stewart Beach on Galveston Island, Texas, with a half marathon and a 5K the same morning. The marathon is two loops of a flat out-and-back route along the Seawall sidewalk, with turnarounds near Pleasure Pier at 25th Street and at the end of Boddeker Road past East Beach. The course is certified as a Boston Marathon qualifier and has a six-hour limit, and wheelchair and handcycle divisions start 15 minutes ahead of the field.
