2026 Sponsorship Opportunities

Your Pedal Palacios sponsorship keeps our coastal community rolling. Your support helps the Palacios Chamber of Commerce promote local businesses while welcoming cyclists, birders, fishermen, and outdoor lovers to explore our town.

Pedal Palacios is a fun and scenic cycling experience that showcases the natural beauty and warm hospitality of Palacios, Texas. Taking place Saturday, October 24, 2026, the event offers 12-, 36-, and 60-mile routes along flat country roads with beautiful water views. Riders will receive full SAG support and enjoy six rest stops featuring homemade treats and refreshments, followed by a free post-ride shrimp boil at Railroad Park. Proceeds support the Palacios Chamber of Commerce and its mission to promote economic growth, enhance the quality of life in our community as we continue our partnership with the 2026 ACC TX MS 150 as a Recommended Ride.

New this year, we hope to participate in Kent International’s Team-Building & Charity Program enabling sponsors to purchase 16″, 18″ and 20″ bicycles to assemble as team building experience and then donating these to our partner, Palacios Area Fund’s Operation Santa Claus to gift to children in need as Christmas present.

Sign up below to reserve your spot, share your rider details, and choose any add-ons. Every mile you ride helps keep Palacios vibrant, connected, open for business and may even put a huge smile on a Palacios child at Christmas.
