Get ready to sparkle and stride at the Divas Galveston Half Marathon and 5K, an empowering and glamorous race held on April 26, 2026, in scenic Galveston, TX. This event is a highlight of the Divas Half Marathon & 5K Series, celebrated as one of the most fun and women-focused running experiences in the nation. Participants can choose between the challenging 13.1-mile half marathon or the spirited 5K, both designed to celebrate strength, sisterhood, and self-love. Expect a festive atmosphere, complete with pink tutus, tiaras, and a red carpet finish where every runner is greeted with a well-deserved bubbly toast and a dazzling finisher medal.

The scenic road course, starting and finishing at Beach Central in Galveston, offers generally flat terrain with views of the Gulf along the famous seawall. While the course is mostly flat, runners should be prepared for exposure to the sun as there is little shade. Aid stations are strategically placed throughout both courses, offering water and sports drinks, along with convenient portable restrooms. However, it's worth noting that fuel (such as gels or bananas) is typically not provided at the aid stations, so runners should plan to carry their own. Typical race day conditions in late April include highs around 80°F and lows around 67°F, with an approximate 8% chance of precipitation, making for potentially warm running weather.

What truly sets the Divas Galveston race apart is its unique blend of fitness and flair. Along the course, you'll find a fun boa and tiara station, inviting you to add even more sparkle to your run before crossing the red carpet finish line. The race is lauded for its engaging organization and spirited participants, creating an encouraging environment for all. Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply soaking up the vibrant celebration, the Divas Galveston Half Marathon and 5K promises an unforgettable experience.
