Registration is currently underway for The Louisiana Marathon, a three-day running festival happening January 16 - 18, 2015, in Baton Rouge, LA. Now in its fourth year, The Louisiana Marathon expects to attract 30,000 attendees from 50 states and 12 countries. A true celebration of both running and Louisiana culture, The Louisiana Marathon is helping Louisiana become known as the running capital of the south.

The Louisiana Marathon truly has a race for everyone, offering a 5K, kids marathon, quarter marathon, half marathon, and full marathon throughout the weekend. The Louisiana Marathon appeals not just to runners but also to everyone who appreciates Louisiana food and music. The success of The Louisiana Marathon proves that healthy living and good times are not mutually exclusive.

One of the weekend's most exciting events is the annual sold-out Pastalaya Dinner. This year The Louisiana Marathon is happy to announce Dave McGillivray, Boston Marathon race director - motivational speaker, world-class athlete, and accomplished entrepreneur - as the keynote speaker. Also in attendance and opening the presentation for Mr. McGillvray will be Major Kim "Rooster" Rossiter, USMC and founder of Ainsley's Angels of America. The dinner, taking place on Saturday, January 17, 2015, in the ballroom of the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol, promises to inspire and motivate.
