2012 Race Information

Marking the anniversary of Hurricane Ike, Galveston Historical Foundation (GHF) invites you to support the third annual run/walk through Galveston’s most historic neighborhoods and districts as you help the island recover from the effects of one of the worst natural disasters since the Great Storm of 1900. Initiated two years ago to bring attention to Galveston’s post Hurricane Ike recovery, with particular focus on our historic neighborhoods, the Revival race made a monumental debut in 2009 with over 1000 registered participants. With waning media coverage following Hurricane Ike, we again need to attract attention to our architectural heritage. As the steward of many historic house museums and vessels, including the magnificent 1892 Bishop’s Palace and the 1877 ELISSA, Texas’ Official Tall Ship, GHF is at the core of the Island’s revival. This noteworthy fundraiser enables the foundation to continue in its mission to preserve and revitalize the architectural, cultural and maritime heritage of Galveston Island.
