Heels Up 5K - Shreveport, LA

Heels Up 5K - Shreveport, LA takes place in Shreveport, Louisiana, on March 20, 2027. The event runs one distance, a 5K covering 3.1 miles, with the start set for 8:30 a.m. It is a straightforward road 5K on a spring Saturday morning, with a start time late enough that you do not have to be up before dawn.

For a first-time racer, 3.1 miles is the classic entry point: you can run it, walk parts of it, or mix the two, and you will still finish comfortably inside an hour. If you want to race it, spend three or four weeks running easy on most days and doing one faster session a week, for instance eight to ten repeats of one minute hard with equal recovery. On race morning, get moving fifteen minutes before the start; jumping straight from standing into 5K pace is the quickest way to feel awful in the first mile.
