The La Porte By the Bay Marathon begins at Sylvan Beach Park, taking participants across the Fred Hartman Bridge, a standout architectural feature in Texas with its twin steel towers and striking yellow cables. Runners complete two crossings of this iconic bridge before reaching the finish line at Five Points Plaza. The post-race celebration includes good food, cold beer, and awards for participants. Every finisher is awarded a medal. This event is organized by 3 Bros Running Company, and it is part of the Texas Bridge Series.
