Daily News Press Run - Galveston
The Daily News Press Run in Galveston takes place on October 31, 2026 and raises funds for the Newspapers In Education program. The event includes certified Galveston Causeway 5K and 10K courses and a Kids 1K sponsored by Whataburger. Additional programming includes a book character costume contest, dozens of vendor booths, music, food, and other on-site activities.
Several participation options are offered, including in-person and virtual races and donation-only choices. A bundle discount of 10% is available when registering for both Daily News Press Run events.
The Newspapers In Education program uses newspapers to develop reading comprehension, critical thinking, and classroom connections. The run directs proceeds to this program; organizers note a waiting list of teachers who want to join and need support for the upcoming school year.
Practical event details include runners' parking at Target Parking Lot, 6128 Broadway, Galveston, TX 77551, with shuttle service to the event site. A bag drop is available at the information station for a $5 donation to the Newspapers In Education program.
The costume contest is divided into children and adult groups. First, second, and third place winners in each group receive prizes donated by local merchants, and a panel will judge the entries. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
