The Louisiana Marathon

Get ready to lace up and experience the heartbeat of the South with the Louisiana Marathon! This isn't just a run, it's a full-on celebration where pounding the pavement meets the zest of Louisiana's festivals. Picture crossing the finish line, then dancing to live local music with a cold beer in hand and a spread of southern food that's second to none.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2012, our mission has been twofold: inspire active living and stake our claim as a winter racing highlight embodying the spirit of Louisiana. Join us on Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend to choose your challenge from a variety of distances and run through Baton Rouge's most scenic spots, cheered on by a vibrant community. It’s a rendezvous with fun, flair, and lagniappe – that little something extra. Run, revel, repeat at the Louisiana Marathon!
