This 5K's course will be along the levee on River Road, across from the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine located on Skip Bertman Drive. There will also be a separate 1 Mile Fun Run course available for anyone interested in running or walking a shorter distance. All participants are welcome to participate in BOTH events! All pets are welcome to attend this event, but we ask that you please make sure your pets are on a leash and work well with other people, pets, and children.
*For the safety of all participants, we reserve the right to ask pet owners to leave if their pets do not meet the requirements previously stated above.*
