With a mission of “RUN+EAT+DANCE+LAUGH” the fourth annual Louisiana Marathon Rendezvous Weekend in Baton Rouge during January 16-18, 2015 will certainly be a can’t miss event. There is a distance for everyone Full, Half, Quarter, 5K and Kids Marathon.
Be sure to come out early so you don’t miss the Expo that starts on Friday with lots of vendors on hand to help you load up on a wide variety of running merchandise. Have fun at the Kids Zone on Saturday and Sunday where your children will have fun bouncing around on 225 Inflatables, overcoming the Play Dirty Obstacle courses, having their faced painted and playing with games and toys provided by Academy Sports + Outdoor. When you are at the Start line in front of the State Capital that Sunday morning for the Half/Full you will see the diversity of runners from all 50 states and over a dozen countries for this race. It is quite surreal. Even the Spectators & Volunteers can come and enjoy the Finish Line Festival for a small fee to soak up the many local delicacies and music. So far this annual race has been blessed by Mother Nature with great cool, comfortable weather, scenic course (downtown Baton Rouge, LSU campus area along Tiger Stadium and LSU lakes etc), ample water stops along the way and an awesome finisher medal & festival waiting for you when you complete your race. This event is growing year after year and it didn’t hurt that Runners World Magazine named The Louisiana Marathon one of the Top 10 up and coming running events in the January 2014 issue.
It is more than a race it is an EXPERIENCE!
