GALVESTON — Outloud! Productions, a Houston-based multisport race production company, is excited to announce the Holiday Half Marathon at Moody Gardens. The event will take place at 8 a.m. Nov. 18.
The inaugural half-marathon course is primarily on Moody Gardens property and at Scholes International Airport.
As a part of the weekend, Moody Gardens, along with Outloud!, will host a special Festival of Lights Family Fun Walk at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 17.
For $15 per person (children 3 and younger are free), participants can enjoy the Festival of Lights experience, go ice skating, have their family photo taken with Santa and receive a T-shirt commemorating the event.
Outloud! has partnered with the Galveston YMCA to introduce the “Save Your Sneakers” program. Participants can donate gently used or new sneakers, which will be distributed to folks in need both in Galveston and surrounding areas.
Also partnering with the event is Reason to Race, which encourages athletes to race for a charity of their choice. Donations will be made to various local Galveston groups based on their volunteer efforts.
“We want to involve the community in this event in any way we can,” said race producer Greg Pennington. “We’ve had great success with helping organizations fundraise for their organizations by volunteering at any one of our other six local events.”
