North Oaks & Middendorf's Manchac Run

The North Oaks & Middendorf's Manchac Run begins and ends at Middendorf's Seafood Restaurant, located on U.S. Highway 51 in the Manchac/Akers area of Louisiana. This autumn road race offers three distances: 5K, 10K, and 10 miles, suitable for both casual runners and those seeking a longer challenge. The race, a collaboration between North Oaks and Middendorf's, revives a local running event with strong ties to the restaurant. The course follows the Manchac area around Highway 51, with aid stations provided. Participants receive finisher medallions and a catfish plate, offering a distinct Louisiana reward at the finish. Proceeds support the North Oaks Foundation.
