The 2024 Louisiana Watermelon Festival 5k event offers a great challenge to local runners and walkers. This course is a fast first mile downhill followed by what we like to affectionately call Watermelon Mountain at mile 2.

This is a non profit organization made up of volunteers in Northeast Louisiana that host events to race money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Learn more about the organization from their website teamwillpoweronline.com.
To top it all off, at the end of the race there will be slices of locally grown Louisiana Watermelon for all finishers to enjoy.
