Overview
The Divas Galveston event is a running series held in Galveston, Texas, starting and finishing at Beach Central. The event features two primary distances:
- Half Marathon
- 5K
Participants in both distances receive a race shirt and a pink tutu. During the race, runners can collect a tiara and a boa at a dedicated station on the course to complete their attire. All finishers are awarded a medal, and the top three overall female finishers, as well as the top three in various age groups, receive additional age group medals. Age groups range from 10 and under to 75 and over.
Course Details
The courses include multiple water and aid stations equipped with water, sports drinks, and portable restrooms. The Half Marathon has a course time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes, which requires a pace of approximately 16:00 minutes per mile. Both the Half Marathon and the 5K are officially timed using a disposable B-Tag timing system attached to the participant's bib. Results are posted live during the event.
Logistics
Participants can collect their race packets at a pre-race packet pickup held at the Holiday Inn Resort on the Beach the day before the event. On race day, packet pickup is available at Beach Central for an additional fee. Alternatively, runners may choose to have their packets shipped for a fee during registration.
Parking is available at the Beach Central Parking Garage or on the north side of the Seawall, as the south side is closed for the race. The event benefits the Resource Crisis Center of Galveston County, an organization supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
