Pocket Sponsors “Beach to Bay Relay” Event in Corpus Christi; Free goodies & chance to win a new cell phone & service + a trip for two to the World Cup!

Beach to Bay Relay Marathon

The City of Corpus Christi, Texas will soon be invaded by nearly twelve- thousand runners representing the great State of Texas and the United States. And Pocket’s regional Corpus Christi stores are  joining in as a sponsor of this event.

We’ll be there in full force with free fans, back packs, frisbees plus…. you can register for you chance to win a free trip to the World Cup in South Africa.  We’ll also be giving away a free phone with three months of free service!

What are people coming to South Texas for why it is the annual running of the Beach to Bay Relay Marathon?

The Beach to Bay Relay Marathon is a full-scale relay marathon (a marathon is 26.2 miles) that begins on beautiful and scenic Padre Island, crossing the Laguna Madre along the JFK Causeway, then traveling through Naval Air Station Corpus Christi and finishing at Cole Park, with the bay as a backdrop. The race culminates with a huge after race celebration and pizza party.

The very first Beach to Bay Relay Marathon was held in 1975, as a way for runners to gather and honor our nation’s military personnel. Now, 35 years later the tradition continues and the race is held on the third Saturday in May or Armed Forces Day.

The course’s easy access will allow you to cover the event at any vantage point along the route; the only restricted area will be the portion of the race that passes through the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. Cole Park Amphitheater is a highly recommended spot for video, photo shoots as the winners cross the finish line, and all participants gather around for the post-race festivities, which include food and refreshments, live music entertainment, and the awards ceremony.

We are sure the 35th annual Beach to Bay Relay Marathon will provide many memorable newsworthy human-interest stories to share with your audience. We also hope you enjoy this event as much as everyone else participating in it does.
