About the Surfside Beach Marathon
This Texas coast event bases all its races at Stahlman Park and supports local beach restoration. A post-race gathering and flexible atmosphere give it a relaxed identity.
Course
Marathoners complete two beach laps with turnarounds along the shoreline. Firm sand can run quickly, while soft patches, camber, water, and tide conditions change the effort.
Race-day weather
February is usually mild, but Gulf wind, rain, humidity, and tides are all meaningful. Shoes and pace should match the surface on race morning.
