The Pointe Coupee Parish School Athletic Department is excited to announce that the inaugural Pointe Coupee Special Needs Field Day will be held on Thursday, March 19 at the Patrick Green Track & Field Stadium. Events are scheduled by grade group: Head Start through 6th grade will participate from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, and 7th through 12th grade will participate from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM.

This event is open to students with special needs who are enrolled in the Pointe Coupee Parish Public School System, from Head Start through 12th grade. If you are unsure whether your child is eligible to participate, please contact your child’s special-needs teacher for confirmation.

Participation is free for all eligible students. Every participant will receive a participation ribbon, and lunch will be provided for athletes and attendees.

Athletes can expect a variety of competitive and recreational activities, including track events such as the 50 m and 100 m runs, skill events like tennis ball throw, noodle javelin throw, field goal kicking, and a basketball free-throw contest, plus additional activity stations such as tic-tac-toe, bubble stations, and more.

Each student will be assigned an athlete buddy to support them during events. The athlete buddy may be the student’s legal guardian or a teacher from the school system. During registration, parents may choose whether they would like to assist their child themselves or have their child assigned an athlete buddy.

Students must be present at their school on the day of the event; bus transportation will be provided to and from the Patrick Green Track & Field Stadium, and participating students will return to their local school after the event. Parents are not permitted to drop off students directly at the event site, but they are welcome to attend, watch, and assist their child if they selected that option during registration.

    The 2026 River Roux Olympic Triathlon will be held on October 10th!

    River Roux features a 1.5K swim, 40K bike ride, and a 10K run in historic New Roads. The race has aquabike, duathlon, and relay divisions. It wraps up with awards and a finish fest in the greenspace across from transition. ​

    RKF is a non-profit organization whose mission is to create and sustain active, fit and healthy children, families and communities through programming, advocacy and education, as an effort to fight childhood obesity through multisport events and camp scholarship and grant programs. RKF also gives back to local schools/clubs in the cities that welcome us there, such as Boy Scouts, parish and city programs, 4-H, local schools, and more.

    Entries are limited to 300 competitors.

    SWIM

    The swim course will be a double loop clockwise swim that begins and ends at the floating dock. Starting at 6:45 a.m. we will have a designated swim warm up area for your use with safety personnel managing the area. The entire course is not open for warm up. Athletes will enter and exit False River at the floating dock. Athletes will be staged along the grass area behind the ramp.

    We will have safety personnel on the course. You may hang on to kayaks and paddle boards to catch your breath but cannot use them to make any forward progress. Your safety is our primary concern, and we urge you to raise your hand to alert safety personnel if you are in distress. Similarly, if you observe another athlete in clear distress, please stop and alert safety personnel. Upon exiting the swim course, you will run straight up the gangway of the floating dock and along the carpeted area leading to the stairs to access the transition area.

    Self-Seeded Start

    Athletes will seed themselves according to swim pace. Swimmers will enter the water 1 at a time, every 3 seconds.

    Waves

    The swim is a time trial start.

    BIKE

    The bike course is an out-and-back around False River. Remember that all the roads on the bike course will remain open to traffic throughout the race. We will have police and volunteers at major intersections, but you are still to ride with safety as your primary priority. Every turn on the course will be marked with signs to the right side of the road, as well as orange marks in the road. ​

    There will be SAG support vehicles on the bike course providing assistance with minor mechanical issues throughout the day.

    RUN

    River Roux run course (coming soon!). There will be 4-5 aid stations on the course. We will be serving water, Powerade, and gels (variety of flavors) at all aid stations.
