Mardi Gras Madness - Shreveport

Mardi Gras Madness - Shreveport takes place at Shreveport, Louisiana, on February 27, 2027. A kids' dash opens proceedings at 8:55 a.m., then the 10K (6.2 miles), the 5K (3.1 miles) and the one-mile run all start together at 9:00. No elevation figures are published for the courses.

Sending three distances off at once makes the opening half-mile busy, so if you are running the 10K, start toward the front of your realistic pace group and let the shorter fields go without chasing them. The 10K is the format that rewards a proper build here: eight to ten weeks of steady running with a weekly tempo session will carry you through 6.2 miles comfortably. The mile and the kids' dash keep the event open to families who want a race number without the mileage.
