About the Event

Bayou Segnette State Park's cypress-draped waterways frame a uniquely Louisiana running experience at the Run / Walk on the Bayou on February 28, 2026, where 5K, 10K, and Kids Half Mile participants glide across flat paths through marshland scenery teeming with local wildlife. This Westwego event transforms the Westbank Expressway's natural corridor into a dual-purpose celebration—honoring both personal athletic achievement and environmental stewardship through proceeds benefiting park preservation and community beautification initiatives. More than just courses, these routes offer immersion in authentic bayou ambiance where Spanish moss observers might spot herons mid-stride.

With staggered start times accommodating early-rising 10K contenders, family-focused 5K participants, and enthusiastic young dash competitors, the morning builds toward a unified finish-line celebration featuring live music and community connection. Registration includes virtual participation options for distant supporters, while tiered pricing encourages early commitment to this growing tradition that proves Louisiana's most memorable workouts happen where pavement meets untamed wetland beauty.
