About this race
This isn’t just another run — it’s a full-on Mardi Gras party with all the fixings: over-the-top medals, stylish tees, and high-energy staff. And when you cross the line, the party ain’t over! Our DJ will be spinning the hits, announcing every runner like royalty, and keeping the celebration rolling. Grab some snacks, raise a toast, and dance your way into the awards ceremony.
🎷 Mardi Gras Costume Contest 🎷
Think you’ve got the most Mardi Gras spirit? Prove it before the race begins!
Pull out all the stops — beads, feathers, sequins, masks, wigs — the wilder the better. Contestants will show off their outfits at the start line, and the audience will crown the winner with their cheers.
The winner will receive a Bigfoot Prize Pack and the honor of being named the official Grand Marshal of Mardi Gras Madness, leading the race parade-style just like in New Orleans.
Volunteers will toss out Mardi Gras beads so you can run draped in purple, green, and gold!
