2026 Conquer The Coast

The United Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce Foundation invites you to experience the adventure of riding your bicycle around Corpus Christi Bay's shoreline by participating in the Annual Conquer the Coast bike ride.  It has gained the reputation of being one of the most unique rides in Texas and continues to grow annually.

*2026 will be the second year to include a ride over the NEW HARBOR BRIDGE. However, there is still construction in downtown Corpus Christi. With that, there is a possibility that there will be a slightly different route for the 69 mile riders between the start/finish line and North Beach near the Texas State Aquarium & the USS Lexington compared to 2025. From the North Beach to the finish line – it will remain the same as past years. (The route for 2026 will be approved by TXDoT, the City of Corpus Christi, and Traffic Control prior to final release.)

Conquer the Coast packs so much into one ride that no other cycling event quite compares. The 69-mile ride begins at 7:00am in the heart of Corpus Christi's Sports, Entertainment and Arts District (N. Bayfront Park, Corpus Christi, TX 78401). See some of the region's most iconic views, an award-winning art museum and the awe-inspiring water gardens. Your trek up the new Harbor Bridge bridge gives you a bird's eye view of the Corpus Christi Ship Channel and the nation's 5th largest port to your left. On your right, you'll see a National Landmark, the USS Lexington and the Texas State Aquarium. All with the expansive Corpus Christi Bay, as the backdrop, where you survey the very coast you set out to conquer.

The adventure has only begun as you begin to circumnavigate the highways clockwise through all the picturesque towns that line the shores of Corpus Christi Bay. Portland, Aransas Pass, Ingleside and Port Aransas all offer their own unique flair to the Coastal Bend and promise spectacular views along the way. The Port Aransas Ferry connects you to Mustang & Padre Island where the true test begins. Some call it the "Toughest 18 Miles in Texas" as this stretch of Mustang Island is what it's all about. It's what separates the joy riders from the cyclists. This ride offers the unique opportunity to ride through the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. A quick ride past the island campus of Texas A&M Corpus Christi and you hit Ocean Drive: easily one of the most scenic drives in all of Texas.

If the 69-mile ride is not for you, Conquer the Coast also offers a 21-mile ride, as well as a 10-mile 'Family Ride'.
