Additional Information

The Cajun Country Half-Marathon is Acadiana's only half-marathon. It is conveniently set in the early winter and will provide a perfect warm-up race for the winter marathons in early 2009. Held at Acadiana Park, this two loop course will provide some nice rolling hills and a small portion of cross country. Great race for the beginner as well as the seasoned endurance athlete.
