About the race
The New Year's Run and Rescue in Galveston is a fifth-anniversary community run and walk focused on pets and the New Year. The event is held on January 1, 2027, at Galveston Island Running Co., 518 23rd St., Galveston, TX 77550. It follows a 3.1 Miles (5K) route along the Seawall, heading east on the Seawall and returning to the store.
This is not an official timed race. Two registration options are offered: a no-shirt entry for $20 and an entry that includes a shirt for $40.
The event includes adoption, foster, and volunteer opportunities with the Galveston Island Humane Society. The program for the morning features New Year's brunch bites, fresh juice or mimosas, and a silly photo booth. The setting is described as family friendly and pet friendly, with time allocated for participants to be with family, friends, and their fur babies.
Logistics note: the route uses the Seawall and finishes back at the starting location on 23rd Street. The organizer describes the gathering as a community event that combines a short run or walk with pet-focused activities and on-site opportunities connected to the humane society.
