Alexandria, LA

Alexandria sits on the Red River in central Louisiana where the terrain is dead flat and humid year-round. The LSUA 5K and Freedom Run 5K are the main local running events, both fast courses through town and nearby parks with minimal elevation. Cyclists dominate here with the Le Tour de Bayou, a 162km event that showcases the bayou roads and rural Cane River routes that characterize the region—expect flat, straight roads with occasional water crossings rather than hills.
