3.1 Miles 5k Run

We are the "oldest race in town"! And we are excitedly planning our third consecutive year in north Franklin parish in the town of Baskin on Sat., 5/16/26. We thought this year would be an excellent "warm up" to the Run for the Red, White, and Blue the very next weekend in Monroe. As you may know, last year's race was a charity benefit for Tracey Ready's breast cancer battle. We lost Tracey this side of heaven less than 2 months later. We want to honor her memory by funding a memorial scholarship in her name AND purchasing Bibles to distribute to local detention centers in need.

Our race this year follows the same, flat and fast route through Baskin, LA. We will have snacks and drinks for participants, and encourage spectators to come visit with us as well. We have Top Male and Top Female awards and age group medals. We also will do something NEW this year by having Top 20 finisher medals! Those that register BY noon on May 1st will receive an event t-shirt! We look forward to seeing you all at the Catfish Classic 5K sponsored by Winnsboro Sports!

M/F up to 15 years old; & 5 year increments M/F awards

    On April 25, 2026, our organization will host our 4th Annual Lupus Awareness Kickoff Walk, Ride or Run. We would be honored if you would join us in making this event a success. The event will be held at the Richwood Multi-Purpose Center, 2710 Martin Luther King Drive, Richwood, LA 71202. Registration begins at 7:00a.m. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that impacts millions worldwide, including members of our local community. This event raises vital awareness and funds to support individuals affected by lupus while bringing the community together for a shared cause.

    The past three years have been a great success with the support of our community. Families were able to come out enjoy live music, face painting, games, participate in the walk and gain information from local vendors. The positive feedback and enthusiastic participation we received highlighted the importance of this event for our community.
