The Race is an Annual Tradition

Every year, cyclers from the Coastal Bend area, Texas, and beyond make their way to the Gulf Coast Capital for the race. This year, Conquer the Coast will be celebrating its 23rd year! Coast over on September 20, 2025 and be a part of this highly anticipated event.

You Have 3 Scenic Routes to Choose From

Starting at the famous Whataburger Field, each route differs in distance -- but have no fear, each one has stunning views of the city and waterfront.

  • 66-Mile Ride: A challenging ride for seasoned cycles. This ride will take you on a tour through the entire Coastal Bend area through Portland, Ingleside, Aransas Pass, Port Aransas, and all the way back down to downtown Corpus Christi. 
  • 21-Mile Ride: This is an intermediate course for those wanting a challenge that isn't as rigorous. Enjoy a ride down Ocean Drive, past Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (a school that is on its very own island), and near the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. Comfort bikes, hybrids, and mountain bikes are suitable for this ride.
  • 10-Mile Ride: This is a more leisurely ride that's perfect for families, children, and casual riders. Enjoy a nice ride along Ocean Drive without the pressure of a competition! It’s long enough to push yourself without overdoing it and getting to enjoy some quality time with your family.
