The 39th annual Causeway Run & Fitness Walk takes place April 15 and registration is now open.
The Port Isabel Chamber of Commerce hosts the 5K walk and 10k run for thousands of participants starting in Port Isabel and crossing the causeway. The race begins at the Port Isabel Community Center, continuing on to the Queen Isabella Causeway and over the Laguna Madre Bay and ending in front of Louie’s Backyard on South Padre Island.
The run will start promptly at 7 a.m. at the Port Isabel Community Center at 213 Yturria Street in Port Isabel. The Fitness Walk starts at 7:15 a.m.
The three-mile fun walk starts at the Port Isabel Community Center and ends at the Padre Balli statue on South Padre Island. The fun walk is not a race and is strictly a participation walk.
The first 1,500 registrants to check in also receive an event t-shirt, although sizes are not guaranteed.
Early bird registration is available before March 14. Those fees are $35 for the 10k run, $30 for the 5K walk, and students and military with ID $25 for either event.
