Our Lady of the Lake Children's Health Amazing Half Marathon

USATF Certification: Certificate LA180009DR

The AMAZING Half Marathon Course boasts several features coveted by runners looking to earn a PR- fast, flat, fun, and new! The course will begin in downtown Baton Rouge and wind through charming business districts, old Baton Rouge neighborhoods, the Baton Rouge lakes systems, and return to downtown, with a straight shot to the finish for fun (no more uphill)!

Maximum Time Allowed for Half Marathoners: 4 hours (approx 18 min/mi pace).

The AMAZING 5K Course will start on North Blvd at Town Square in Downtown Baton Rouge, La. It will take a nice long downhill right at the start and continue down rolling North Blvd. The only elevation change worth noting is the North Street Overpass, just before mile 1 (outbound) and just past mile 2 (inbound), where runners have been known to enjoy the delicious aroma of bread baking nearby. The race will turn onto N. 19th St, and the first pass at the water stop at Dufroq Elementary School occurs at approximately mile 1.25. Runners take a quick tour of the Garden District and turn at Cherokee St to head back in passing the water stop again at mile 1.75. The finish line awaits our 5K runners back at Town Square.

The One Mile Family Fun Run is a great way to get the whole family moving! These races provide even our youngest runners the chance to feel the exhilaration of crossing the finish line. Open to participants of all ages and abilities. All finishers will receive a One Mile Family Fun Run finisher medal.

The emphasis is on creating empowered, accomplished children and families to develop a lifetime of healthy habits.
