Often imitated, but never duplicated. The Fat Boy 5k is now in cities across America (Vegas, New Orleans, and more)! 

The ORIGINAL Fat Boy knows how to throw a 5k party. Join us early Saturday morning for some pre-race donuts and chocolate milk, and after the race for Manda sausage po-boys, Mockler beverages, Moon Pies, and Coca-Cola products.  Chocolate Easter Bunnies for the winners.

Enter as a skinny runner, or man up to the Clydesdale division (Athena for ladies), or bring your friends and compete in the team competition. Team must collectively weigh in at 650 lbs... or more.​

Awards given five deep in five year age groups.  Awards for weight divisions: Athena, Clydesdale, Super Clydesdale, Ultra Clydesdale, and Clydesdale Teams. Finisher awards to first 150 male finishers and first 150 female finishers!
