    After you cross the finish line, the real battle begins with our legendary Donut Eating Contest, 26.2 Foot Marathon and conquer the 0.0 Mile World Championship. —because balance is important, and carbs are undefeated. Expect big laughs, loud cheers, and a community that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

    Come race hard, jog happy, or waddle proudly.

    The Fatboy 5K is proof that fitness can be fun—and donuts can be part of the plan. 🍩💪

    Have you ever wanted to complete an overnight marathon in the middle of the summer in New Orleans? This is your opportunity, whether an experienced runner or a 1st time Want A Bee, to participate in one of the most unique overnight marathon events in the country in support of Duchenne Muscular Dystropy (DMD) boys. The HOTTER than HELL MARATHON for RaceMD is a self-timed overnight event/run of 26.2 miles completed in 13, two-mile loops.

    If the distance seems daunting to you, you have OPTIONS: You can finish the distance by any other method (bike, skates), you can complete it as a relay team OR you can do a lesser distance (half, 10k, 5k). It is YOUR race.... Support our efforts to raise funds for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy while celebrating motion and spending time with others.

    The race was held at Audubon Park in New Orleans for the first 18 years and was held virtually during the Covid years (2020-2022). Again, this year, for our 24th edition, the race/event will be held at Lafreniere Park, 3000 Downs Blvd., Metairie, LA 70003 for event date of Sunday, July 5, 2026.

    A Virtual Race option is available. Complete your mileage between June 28 - July 5, 2026, to finish the virtual race.

    RaceMD® began with the mission to accelerate the search for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) therapy to save lives. Our mission has evolved from research to rescue as we fund real therapies for real patients NOW. DMD affects 1 in 3,500 children in the US.

    This is a donation-based race benefiting RaceMD, a Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) non-profit. All donations and shirt proceeds go directly to RaceMD. All donations are tax deductible. Funds are then used to provide cell stem therapy to the boys who have DMD. This stem cell therapy shows evidence of life extension for the patients.
