The Seize the Day Warrior Walk + 5K in Baton Rouge features an untimed Warrior Walk alongside a timed 5K Run/Walk, with a Virtual 5K option also available. This event takes place in April and is presented by Epilepsy Alliance Louisiana, the state's longest-standing epilepsy organization. They provide direct services, education, and advocacy for individuals with epilepsy.
The Warrior Walk evolved from a 1-mile run/walk that was part of the event for over two decades; it is now exclusively a walk and is untimed. The 5K continues as the traditional race choice in Baton Rouge. Proceeds from participation fund Epilepsy Alliance Louisiana’s programs and services. This event serves as the organization’s primary fundraiser and links Baton Rouge participants to a broader effort to increase epilepsy awareness and community support throughout Louisiana, covering Acadiana, New Orleans, and Shreveport.
