Spring Fling - Galveston

Spring Fling - Galveston runs on April 10, 2027 in Galveston, Texas, with four formats. A kids dash goes off first at 7:55 a.m., then the 1-mile run, the 5K (3.1 miles) and the 10K (6.2 miles) all start together at 8:00 a.m.

Having the mile, the 5K and the 10K share a start line is a nice piece of scheduling for families and groups: everyone runs at the same time and finishes within roughly the same window, and the kids dash five minutes earlier gets the youngest participants their own moment. Pick your distance by what you are training for — the mile as a pure speed test, the 5K as a hard but short effort, the 10K if you want something that rewards patience in the first half. Whichever you choose, warm up before 8:00 rather than using the first mile to loosen up.
