About the Event

The 50th Annual Andouille Run/Walk in LaPlace, Louisiana, United States is set for October 18, 2026. This long-standing community event offers a unique blend of friendly competition and cultural celebration, with runners and walkers alike gathering to enjoy the city's rich heritage and spirit.
Race day will see participants take part on a course that winds through LaPlace’s historic landscape. The early autumn light bathes the area in a warm glow, as leaves begin to shift from green to vibrant shades of orange and red. While October is typically mild with an average temperature around 22.6°C (72.7°F), runners can expect conditions to feel cooler due to the higher humidity levels at 72.3%. The trail surface remains hard and dry, providing a comfortable footing for all participants.
The Andouille Run/Walk has deep roots in LaPlace’s history and community spirit. Over the years, it has grown into one of the city's most beloved traditions, with both locals and visitors alike participating each year to support Keep St. John Beautiful—a volunteer committee dedicated to enhancing the area's beauty through various beautification projects.
