Mardi Gras Madness 5K - Lake Charles, Louisiana - Running

The Mardi Gras Madness 5K is a Running race in Lake Charles, Louisiana consisting of a 5K.

Our brand new Mardi Gras Madness 5k is a race unlike any the Lake Area has seen before! During the peak of the carnival season, you'll be running the parade route down Ryan Street an hour before The Childrens Parade! The parade crowds will cheer you on along the way, and there will be food, beverages, and zydeco at the finish! The route will start on Gill Street near the Lake Charles Civic Center, and will finish near the end of the parade route near Sale Road. There we will have an epic finish line festival, and you'll enjoy food, drink, and dancing as you watch the parade go by! You can have your family members pick you up at the finish, or we will have race day shuttles to take you back to your car for a small fee.
