Riverboat Series Day 1

Riverboat Series Day 1 is held on April 12, 2027 in Winnsboro, Louisiana, and opens a multi-day series. Five distances are on offer on the day: a 50K (31 miles), a marathon (26.2 miles), a half marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K (6.2 miles) and a 5K (3.1 miles).

A weekday race with this range of options exists mainly for runners collecting states or stacking consecutive days, and the format lets you pick a distance to match how the rest of the week is meant to go. If you are running more than one day of the series, the smart move is to go slower than feels necessary on day one — the cost of an aggressive opening day shows up two days later. If you are only here for a single race, the 50K and the marathon both reward a long, patient build of sixteen weeks or more.
