Run through the heart of the Pelican State.

Baton Rouge, a 42.195km journey of soul and flavor

The Louisiana Marathon is a culturally rich race that combines a fast, flat course with the festive spirit of the South. Held every year in mid-January, it is a spectacular 42.195km journey through the state capital of Baton Rouge, taking runners from the shadow of the State Capitol through the historic LSU campus, around the scenic University Lakes, and back through beautiful downtown streets.

The start in front of the tallest State Capitol in the U.S. is inspiring, and while the course is known for being remarkably flat and fast, it is the "Finish Line Festival" featuring authentic Louisiana cuisine and live music that truly sets this race apart.

An unforgettable sense of Southern hospitality awaits, as if the entire community is hosting a giant backyard party just for the runners.

The Louisiana Marathon is not just a race; it’s a "Running Festival with a Kick." It is an unforgettable adventure through the vibrant neighborhoods and scenic landmarks of Baton Rouge. Push your limits and write your story in the city of the Red Stick, where every mile is seasoned with culture and cheer.
