Lacing up their running shoes for a morning of coastal fitness, participants gathered on Saturday, May 9, for the annual Texas Crab Festival Fun Run. This year’s event brought a wave of fresh energy with a shift to a brand-new venue: Camp Margaritaville Resort.
Two of the oldest runners who placed, highlighted below in the Male and Female 70+ awards
Kids Run with Crab & Presenting Sponsor Landon Wright
The main event featured a chip-timed 5K run and walk. For younger athletes, a Kids 1K offered the opportunity to join in on the action, while those preferring a more laid-back morning gravitated toward the lighthearted 0.0K—allowing participants to leisurely step across the finish line to grab a beer and cheer on the arriving runners.
