Two decades in the making, this iconic early‑season race blends everything athletes love: a fast, PR‑ready course wrapped in the laid‑back energy of a Texas beachside escape. Set on Galveston Island, the historic “Playground of the South,” race weekend unfolds amid sun‑soaked beaches, Moody Gardens, Pleasure Pier, and Gulf Coast charm. With everything centered around Moody Gardens, you’ll settle into island time the moment you arrive, soaking up a weekend that feels effortless, celebratory, and unforgettable.

Join us for a 1.2 mile beachside swim in the protected, saltwater Bayou, a 56 mile out-and-back fast and flat bike course along the scenic Texas Gulf Coast, and cap it off with a 13.1 mile run through Galveston’s iconic Moody Gardens before finishing near the Aquarium Pyramid. All while taking in the picturesque moments of this charming Texas beachside destination surrounded by hundreds of spectators. ​
