Cameron, LA
The Lighthouse Run goes along the beach near the Sabine Pass Lighthouse, the historic structure the race exists to help restore. The course is flat sand underfoot, open to the sea breeze, with the sun dropping toward the horizon as runners finish. Top finishers in each gender are recognized, and driftwood-and-seashell pieces go to the winners.

The Lighthouse Run has been held every year since at least 2016. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
Set a goal and get a pace band: every mile split on a card sized for your phone lock screen, so race morning needs no math.

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 39:04, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:12:41, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (49 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 5K winner ran 24:01 while the median finisher took 39:04. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
