Is there race day registration?


Race day registration is available from 7:30-8:45 on Sunday January 28.  However, only registrations received before January 17 are guaranteed a race t-shirt on race day. NOTE:  In previous years, we have been able to order t-shirts for those who registered on race day.  Unfortunately, due to rising costs, we will be unable to do this again this year.  Please be sure to register by January 17,  so that you will be assured a t-shirt.

We do kindly request that parents and guardians review race etiquette with children prior to the race to ensure safety of all participants.

What will be available post-race?  


Music, Fun Jumps and Face Painting will be provided free of charge to all after the race.  Registered runners (must show race bib) will be served beignets, fruit and water free of charge after the race.  Others may purchase beignets for $4.00.   

Are there restrooms available?

Are water stops available?

Where should I park? 


There is a limestone parking lot right next door to the school and near the race start.  Additional parking is available behind the school.   Please see the race site map for more information.

 Can I get a refund if I cannot race?

We are sorry, but we plan the race based on the number of registered runners.  Once you have registered we cannot offer you a refund. If, however, if you register and do not run, you may still pick up your race packet and shirt and join us in the fun. 

What happens in the event of inclement weather? 

The race will be held rain or shine.  If weather poses a threat to participants, we reserve the right to cancel the event.   Expenses are incurred long before race day, so we regret we cannot offer refunds should the event be cancelled. Registered participants will still receive a race shirt, goodie bag and other items.  Race organizers will inform participants if a rain out date is able to scheduled.  However, due to the amount of coordination with local law enforcement/city officials and utilization of resources required for an event such as this, an alternate date may not be possible.                                                                                       

How is the race timed?


Cajun Timing will provide DISPOSABLE CHIP TIMING for recording accurate results.  Participants will wear a bib number with a computer chip attached to the back.  As racers cross the finish line, their finish time and bib number will be entered into a computer.   Bib numbers must be attached to the FRONT of your shirt. Bibs should not be altered or crushed to ensure accurate timing.

Are walkers allowed?

YES! Walkers are very welcomed to our event.  Walkers will start at the same time as runners but are advised, for safety reasons, to start their race at the back of the pack. Also be mindful to stay to the right of the street so that you are not blocking runners coming past you.    

Are strollers allowed?  

Absolutely.  We encourage you to bring the whole family out for our race.

Who benefits from the proceeds?


 All proceeds benefit the students of Mount Carmel School and Vermilion Catholic High School.  Thank you for supporting the education of our youth!
