Come out and enjoy the only Mardi Gras Run & Festival
in the Hampton Roads area!

Dress up in your favorite Mardi Gras costume and run in the Geaux for the Gold 10K,
or the Fat Tuesday 5K
!

All participants who register by Monday, January 22 are guaranteed an official race shirt. We have ordered additional t-shirts for runners who register after the guarantee deadline, and will try to accommodate everyone who registers. We will post online when registrations surpass shirts available.

Runners (or walkers) of all levels are welcome.
For the 5K and 10K runs, we encourage less-experienced runners
or casual run/walkers to allow more serious runners to take the course first.

After the run, enjoy delicious refreshments, food from local eateries,
and great jazz music at the Mardi Gras Festival.
The festival is open to the public as well!


There will be food and drinks-including beer for purchase at the Finish Area.
Browse our exhibitors and shop our downtown merchants
for one-of-a-kind items you won't find at any mall!
