As part of a special weekend with the Festival of Lights Family Fun Walk on November 18, Outloud! Productions announces the inaugural Holiday Half Marathon at Moody Gardens scheduled to start at 8:00 a.m. at beautiful Moody Gardens property and Scholes International Airport. Also partnering with the event is R2R (Reason to Race) which encourages athletes to race for a charity of their choice. This program is designed for athletes to think past themselves and to focus on training for a cause greater than their own. It helps the participants to focus on a reason to train, a reason to get to the starting line and a reason to complete the race. Donations will be made to various local Galveston groups based on their volunteer efforts.
