Mark your calendars to join runners from all over the south to celebrate Mardi Gras Baton Rouge style! Whether you are running the One Mile Fun Run, 10K or 15K, the whole family can celebrate Carnival Season with the Mardi Gras Mambo. This annual event runs in downtown Baton Rouge and starts and finishes at North Boulevard Town Square.

While the Mardi Gras Mambo has been running the streets of Baton Rouge since 1999, the Mambo 15K race kicked off for the first time in 2014. The 15K race distance is a great stepping stone and fun change in distance for half marathon trainers. The Mambo 15K race will challenge runners with a 9.33 mile course that features the best of downtown Baton Rouge and the Historic Garden District.

Since 1999, the Mardi Gras Mambo has hosted Baton Rouge’s best 10K race! That tradition continues on this February with a new 10k race course that features the best of downtown Baton Rouge and the Historic Garden District.
