---

The Louisiana Marathon is a fast, flat USATF-certified Boston qualifier in Baton Rouge, with a course that runs along the Mississippi River levee, through historic neighborhoods, around the University Lakes, and through the LSU campus before finishing downtown. The race has a 6-hour time limit and about 9% of recent finishers ran a Boston-qualifying time.

Why attend here

In mid-January, Baton Rouge offers a cool, crisp backdrop for a long run, with the course tracing the Mississippi levee and winding through live-oak-lined LSU. Afterward, warm up with a bowl of gumbo or crawfish étouffée in a downtown spot, and take a stroll through the historic neighborhoods you just passed—winter here is mild enough to enjoy them without the summer humidity.
