A Community Fitness & Empowerment Event

Hosted by Glen Oaks Magnet High School Army JROTC – Panther Battalion

📅 Saturday, April 4, 2026

Join us for a vibrant Spring 5K celebrating fitness, community pride, and youth leadership.

Lace up your running shoes and join us for a day of celebration, remembrance, and community pride at the Inaugural Glen Oaks Magnet High School Army JROTC 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, April 4, 2026. This special event is dedicated to honoring the Military, Cadets, Community and Veterans of the Baton Rouge community—the men and women whose service and sacrifice inspire us all.

This isn’t just a race—it’s a commitment to the future. All proceeds will directly benefit the Cadets of the Glen Oaks Magnet High School Army JROTC Program, giving them the resources to participate in life-changing Service Learning projects, leadership training, and competitive events across the JROTC national community. These opportunities strengthen their character, sharpen their skills, and prepare them to become leaders both in our community and beyond.

At the same time, the event serves as a rally point for the Baton Rouge community. Together, we will celebrate our Military, Cadets, Community and Veterans, encourage health and wellness, and build bonds of unity across generations. Every step you take supports not only our Cadets’ growth, but also the spirit of service and resilience that defines Baton Rouge.

Registration remains open. Stay tuned for details on the race location and start time. Mark your calendars now—we look forward to running, walking, and honoring our heroes alongside you!

    Start Starting: Celebrate 15 Years of Louisiana Spirit!

    For 15 years, the Louisiana Marathon has been more than just a race; it's a vibrant, culturally rich festival that embodies the spirit of Louisiana. We've always believed that every journey starts with a single step, and for our 15th anniversary, we invite you to "Start Starting" your own memorable experience.

    Just like Louisiana's legendary festivals, we celebrate the incredible food, music, and dancing that make our state unique. The Louisiana Marathon adds the thrill of running to this mix, creating an unforgettable weekend. Join us for a fast, flat, and fun racecourse, followed by a true Louisiana Festival featuring local musicians, cold beer, and the best Southern cuisine.

    Established in 2012, our mission remains twofold: to inspire our community to embrace an active lifestyle and to create a premier winter road race known for its unique blend of running and Louisiana culture. Held annually on Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend in Baton Rouge, our multi-race format offers something for everyone: Marathon (26.2 miles), Half Marathon (13.1 miles), Window World Louisiana Quarter Marathon (6.55 miles) & 5K (3.1 miles), and the Louisiana Blue Kid's Marathon (1 mile).

    Experience the picturesque roadways of Baton Rouge, from downtown to the University Lakes, the LSU campus, and historic neighborhoods, cheered on by enthusiastic friends, family, and spectators. This 15th anniversary is a celebration of "lagniappe" – that little something extra that makes Louisiana special. Come "Start Starting" your journey with us!
