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 — head to the Race Rally Tent, where 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!
