Start Line
Saengerfest Park
2302 Strand
Galveston, TX 77550
The start line opens at 6:30 am on race day. There will be water and bathroom facilities situated throughout the start line area.
Start Corrals: We utilize a courtesy corral system. Participants are asked to line up according to their estimated pace per mile. Large signs indicating these paces will be displayed through the start line corral. Please be courteous and look for the area that fits your pace - if you plan on walking, please line up towards the back so other runners do not have to run around you. This will make your start quicker and your run more enjoyable.
Seeded Runners: Participants with a time of 1:35 or faster in the half marathon distance, who can send proof prior to March 13, 2014, will qualify for the seeded corral up front. To apply for the seeded corral, please email proof of a time of 1:35 or faster in a half marathon race to us prior to March 13, 2014.
Finish Line
This is a loop course so the finish line will also be within Saengerfest Park.
Once you finish running, let us pamper you like a Diva! As you cross the finish line loose yourself in the feeling of accomplishment. A handsome hunk will crown your accomplishment with the most Diva like medal out there, toast it with a glass of bubbly and celebrate it with a rose…because you are beautiful and powerful and you have just done something not many people can do!!! You are a running Diva…relish the feeling and the moment with all your Diva sisters and friends.
