As part of our 3rd Annual Spring Fling celebration, the Calhoun Civic Club will host the Not Ya Mama's 5K race on SATURDAY, APRIL 12th, 2025. The race will begin at 8:30am and will be followed at 9:30 with a kid's only fun run. Runners will complete a circuit beginning at the Calhoun Civic Club on Calhoun Loop Road, pass along Owens, McCain Farm Road, West Ouachita Baseball Road, and complete the race by entering the West Ouachita Wellness Park to take a victory lap on the wellness park track. The kid’s run is a short loop around the Wellness Park track. Register early and pick up your race packets Saturday, April 5th, 2025 at the Not Ya Mama’s Spring Fling held at Calhoun Middle School on Highway 80 West in Calhoun. This event is our yearly fundraiser for local scholarships and renovations to our wellness park. At the Spring Fling you will find live entertainment, craft and vendor booths, food trucks, kid’s activities, and cooks from throughout the south firing up their pots as we host
the 3rd Annual Louisiana State ICS Chili Cookoff Championship. At 11am we will open the event to the public and begin the day's festivities. Purchase a chili tasting band and sample chili prepared by world class chili cooks. Or, check out the craft/vendors market, enjoy the live music performed by the Josh Madden Band, and visit the kid’s zone offering games, jumpers, a petting zoo, and up close meetings with area first responders. A community Easter Egg hunt will close out the day’s activities and is always a hit. So, be sure to REGISTER EARLY and pick up your race packet at the Spring Fling then stay to join us for this fun day. Race packets can also be picked up at the Calhoun Civic Club 6pm-7pm Friday, April 11th or Saturday, April 12th prior to the race.
