About
Lafayette General Zydeco Marathon runs across two days in Lafayette, Louisiana. The 1-mile fun run starts at 7:30 a.m. and the 5K at 8:00 a.m. on March 6, 2027, then the full marathon (26.2 miles) and the half marathon (13.1 miles) both go off at 7:00 a.m. on March 7. The event caters to runners of every level. Participants receive bibs, bags and finisher medals, and the weekend closes with a finish-line festival of food, drinks and music that ties the racing to the local culture.
Having the short races the day before the main events is convenient if you are traveling with family, since nobody has to choose. For the marathon, an 18-week build with a weekly long run is the sensible baseline, whether you are aiming at a first finish or a specific time. The half asks about 12 to 14 weeks of the same structure.
