Go to register for 2015 causeway run, walk The morning started out foggy but as runners crossed the finish line the skies began to clear, giving way to great weather for running and walking. That was the scene at last year’s Longest Causeway Run & Fitness Walk, which attracted nearly 4,800 participants. And now it’s time to get your running shoes ready and sign up for the 31th Annual Longest Causeway Run & Fitness Walk on Saturday, Jan. 10. The race and walk is sponsored by the Port Isabel Chamber of Commerce and registration is under way. Runners will start at the Port Isabel Community Center, wind their way through town and onto the Queen Isabella Memorial Bridge to cross the Laguna Madre and sprint to the finish line at Louie’s Backyard. The fitness walk also starts at the community center and crosses the causeway, ending at the Padre Balli statue on the Island. Shuttle service will be available to Louie’s, where the after-race party and awards ceremony will be held. While the run is USA Track and field certified, the fitness walk is a participation event only. The overall male and female winners of the 10K run will receive $500 for first place, $300 for second place and $200 for third place.
