Bigfoot Classic - Galveston

Bigfoot Classic - Galveston is held in Galveston, Texas, on January 9, 2027. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the quarter marathon (6.55 miles), the 5K and the one mile all start together at 8 a.m., after a 50 meter kids dash at 7:55 a.m. The quarter marathon is the distinctive option: at 6.55 miles it sits between a 10K and a 15K, which makes it a useful step up for anyone who has raced a 5K but not yet gone longer.

A common start time means everyone is on the road together, so seed yourself honestly in the first half mile. For the half marathon, ten to twelve weeks with a weekly long run building toward 10 or 11 miles is enough preparation for a January date, and the quarter marathon works well as a tune up three or four weeks out. Families can enter the mile and the kids dash and be finished before the longer distances come through.
