The Mile is Back. Lace up, Galveston!

Groundswell's 5th Annual Market Mile

April 12, 2026

Get ready to lace up your sneakers (or comfy walking shoes!) for a Galveston adventure! Whether you're a seasoned marathoner, a power-walker, a slow-stroller, or just here for the neighborhood vibes, this event is for YOU.

At its core, this mile is about our mission: Food Access. By joining us, you’re supporting a market where every neighbor can access fresh, local, and nourishing food.

Choose Your Own Pace:

The Neighborhood Stroll: Bring the dog, the kids, and a coffee. This is a celebration of our streets.

The Fun-Run: If you want to break a sweat, go for it! But a leisurely pace is just as celebrated.

The "Cheer & Swag" Path: Not feeling the mile? Head straight to the market, grab your event swag, and get the party started early.

Come solo and make some new friends, or bring your crew for a memorable outing (plus the team with the most people will win 'Biggest Flock' award).

And the best part? The post-race party! We're talking live tunes, delicious local goodies, refreshing drinks, and our weekly farmers market! It's the perfect way to celebrate crossing the finish line (or just finishing a super fun walk!). See you there!

The Run Like a Diva® Galveston race is a high-energy, sparkle-filled celebration set against the stunning backdrop of the Galveston coast. Taking place on April 26, this unforgettable race weekend features a 5K and Half Marathon, welcoming runners of all levels—from first-time finishers chasing their very first medal to seasoned athletes ready to shine on the course.

With a scenic, flat waterfront route, glam race-day details, and an atmosphere buzzing with confidence, encouragement, and sisterhood, this event goes far beyond a traditional race. It’s a feel-good, joy-filled experience where participants don their tiaras, embrace their strength, and celebrate every stride. Runners don’t just show up to compete—they come to connect, uplift one another, and sparkle together in true Diva fashion

Everyone says exercise is important, but let's be honest: it's easier said than done. Join us for the 4th Annual Preventive Medicine Initiative (PMI) 5k, where we're not just talking about the importance of exercise – we're showing you how to make it a part of your life! Last year, we took 224 participants from the couch to the finish line, and this year we’re excited to run it back. This year, the 5k will be have both in-person and virtual options, and it will conclude with a finisher festival where you will receive free snacks, drinks, games, and FUN! The PMI 5k is more than just a race; it's a celebration of community, health, and making lasting lifestyle improvements.

We understand that for some, taking that first step toward an active lifestyle begins with a simple yet essential element – a pair of shoes. That's why, this year, a portion of our funds will support the Mobility Clinic at UTMB. This student organization is dedicated to working closely with the Galveston community, ensuring that those who are underserved have access to proper footwear & footcare. To date, they've completed three shoe drives and donated over 600 pairs of shoes!

For individuals who are unable to participate in-person, we are offering a virtual option! Registration includes a virtual bib with the opportunity to pick up a packet the week before the race. Additionally, all registrants will be able to pick up their finisher stickers and prizes while supplies last after the race.

There is a limited number of spots available. If you cannot attend the event on May 2nd, 2026, please consider purchasing a shirt and/or making a donation instead of registering as a racer. All donations and proceeds will fund future PMI community projects, and a portion will be dedicated to providing shoes for the underserved. Registration will close on May 1st at 11:59pm or when all spots have filled. Shirt and packet pick-up will be announced closer to race day. Unfortunately, shirts that are not picked-up in person will be recycled 2 weeks after the event.

We will be hosting 4 beginner-friendly training sessions in collaboration with Run Club at UTMB with t-shirt giveaways for lucky participants. Join the Training Program GroupMe for updates and reminders! Follow us on Instagram @prevmedutmb for more details and future updates. For even more information about the race, please visit our website: www.prevmedutmb.wordpress.com

This event is public, and participants do not need to be residents of Galveston or be affiliated with UTMB. Strollers are permitted, but pets will not be allowed on the race course. However, pets are welcome at the finisher festival! We apologize to your furry friends, and we ask you to give them lots of love as our consolation.

See you at the starting line!
