Scheduled for April 9, 2022, the 38th Annual Causeway Run & Fitness Walk promises to be even bigger and better than ever. This year’s event, which begins in Port Isabel and ends on South Padre Island, will feature two events – a 10K (6.2 mi) run, and a 5K (3.1 mi) fitness walk.
The 10K course starts at the Port Isabel Community Center, continuing to the Queen Isabella Causeway over the Laguna Madre Bay, and ending in front of Louie’s Backyard on South Padre Island. The run starts promptly at 7:00 a.m. at the Port Isabel Community Center. Fitness Walk starts at the Community Center at 7:15 a.m.
The 5K fitness walk begins after all 10K runners have cleared the starting area. The walk course also starts at the Port Isabel Community Center, and ends at the Padre Balli statue on South Padre Island. This is not a race. Rather, it is a participation walk only.
Registration for this year’s events has already closed.
Medals will be given to the overall 1st through 3rd male and female winners as well as 1st through 3rd place winner in each male and female age division of the 10K. Overall winners will be ineligible for awards in their respective age divisions. ALL PARTICIPANTS CROSSING THE FINISH LINES WILL RECEIVE FINISHER MEDALS.
Awards ceremonies and snacks will be held immediately following the race/walk at Louie’s Backyard on South Padre Island.
