Louisiana Marathon Festival

Schedule of Events:

7:00am - 11:00am: Half Marathon

The half-marathon is the fastest growing road race distance and we’ve got a great half marathon event. The half marathon follows the same course as the full marathon, leaving downtown Baton Rouge and making its way around LSU’s scenic campus and University Lakes before splitting off from the Marathon and heading back to the downtown area for a scenic finish that runs towards the iconic state capital. Runners must complete the half marathon course in 4 hours. This is a 18:20/mile pace.
