2024 Zydeco Marathon . .

_The 2024 Zydeco Marathon:

Ochsner Lafayette General Zydeco Marathon is a two day running event in the heart of Cajun Country.  Five distance options are available to accommodate just about everyone.  On Saturday we have the one mile fun run and 5K.  Sunday is the heart of the weekend with the full marathon, half marathon, and team relay events.  The Zydeco Finish Line Festival on Sunday has live music, great food, and plenty of drink options to wrap up your weekend.  Sign up today to join us in March 2024 for our 11 year anniversary!

Ochsner Lafayette General Zydeco Marathon and Half Marathon events are USATF sanctioned.  The courses are USATF certified for accuracy and the race is a qualifying event for Boston Marathon and other events requiring an official qualifying time! 
 
The Ochsner Lafayette General Zydeco Planning Team strives to provide participants with a fun, safe, and memorable event.  Courses are well marked with signage and cones.  The routes are heavily staffed with volunteers and traffic control officers.  Hydration stations are well staffed and regularly spaced at approximately 1.5 mile intervals.  Medical staff are located at the finish line and EMS services notified of the race in advance for quick service if needed.
