5K versenyek Mandeville közelében

The Fried Chicken Festival 5K Run | Walk begins on Lakeshore Drive in New Orleans, near the National Fried Chicken Festival entrance.

A Northshore Half Marathon rajtja és célja Mandeville, Louisiana-ban van, Lake Pontchartrain északi partján, nagy, mohával benőtt tölgyek alatt. A versenyhétvégén van half marathon, 10 miler és Jockamo IPA 5K is, szóval lehet választani egy rendes őszi célversenyt vagy rövidebb távot. Pont akkor jön, amikor South Louisiana kezd végre lehűlni a forró edzésidőszak után, ezért sok futó ezzel nyitja az őszi versenynaptárát. A half marathon és a 10 miler végigmegy historic Old Mandeville-en, Lakeshore Drive-on, majd ráfordul a Tammany Trace-re, a hosszabb távok pedig szurkolókkal teli házak és tóparti utak mellett futnak Fontainebleau State Park közelében. A pálya sík és gyors, ezért ezt sokan PB-kompatibilis versenyként emlegetik. Mandeville New Orleans-ból és Baton Rouge-ból is elég közel van egy sima versenyreggeli autózáshoz, a cél után pedig a post-race party miatt még maradni is szoktak az emberek.

The NOLA Dogs Race to the Rescue is an annual 5K run/walk on the grounds of Heaven's Pets at Lake Lawn Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans. It is a fundraiser for animal rescue groups in South Louisiana, with money going to no-kill nonprofit rescues around New Orleans. The 5K is for people only, and runners and walkers can also enter virtually. The event is built around dogs even though they do not run the 5K: pets can join the Second Line Dog Parade and the Blessing of the Pets. NOLA DOGS Charitable Giving is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) founded by JoAnne Casey, owner of Alice and Amelia, and it also runs a major dog auction every October. The group has raised $225,000, supporting rescues that often care for heartworm-positive animals needing immediate veterinary treatment.

The Racing for Y'unity 5K is based at Crosby Commons on Goodyear Boulevard in Picayune, Mississippi, with a certified 5K course and a separate 1 mile fun run. It sits inside the 5th Annual Fitness Festival hosted by Fit Focused Community Pearl River County, so race day is built around local fitness, not only the road race. The listed 5K entry fee is $25, and proceeds benefit Breakthrough T1D. The available course information is simple: runners start in Picayune and cover a certified 5K, while the shorter fun run gives families and newer participants a lower-pressure option. The surrounding festival adds CrossFit competitions, fitness parties, boot camps, training programs, group classes, and local wellness resources such as gyms, supplement shops, workout apparel, meal prep services, and healthier restaurant choices.

The Corporate Classic 5K is a 3.1-mile road race in New Orleans' City Park, held on the second Saturday in November at 8:00 AM. The start is near the Louisiana Children's Museum, and the event welcomes walkers, joggers, and runners. Participants can register individually or form teams with friends or colleagues, fostering a community and workplace atmosphere rather than a purely competitive one. This race also serves a key function: it is the sole 5K qualifier for seeded positions in the Crescent City Classic 10K. The course remains within City Park, offering a direct local 5K before the post-race activities commence. To secure a Crescent City Classic 10K seed, participants must finish in under 27 minutes; the first seeded corral requires a time under 22:30. Corporate teams are categorized by company size, ranging from small businesses to organizations with over 500 employees, with team scores based on the six fastest finishers. Contributions benefit the YMCA Adult Literacy Program. The finish area features medals, shirts, chip-timed bibs, individual and team awards, food, beverages, a live band, a Kids Zone, complimentary child-watch, and an appearance by the Saints mascot GUMBO.

The race, a collaboration between North Oaks and Middendorf's, revives a local running event with strong ties to the restaurant.

The ASH Foundation Run/Walk 5K/3K is a December run and walk held in New Orleans, offering in-person 3K and 5K races that begin early in the morning. The course guides participants along the Riverwalk and through Woldenberg Park. These shorter distances keep runners and walkers near the Mississippi riverfront, avoiding a lengthy road course. Virtual 3K and 5K options are also available for those wishing to participate on their own course and support the event. The event is open to adults, with standard and trainee entry options for both distances. All funds collected from individual and group registrations, as well as additional donations, directly benefit ASH's Foundation.

Packets include a commemorative shirt, safety pins, and a chip-timed bib. Race-day registration and packet pickup will not be available.
