This unique trail run takes place in Fontainebleau State Park, located near Mandeville, Louisiana. The event offers a flat course that’s perfect for runners and walkers alike who want to savor every moment of their journey through the park.
Registration opens at 6:00pm with instructions following promptly at 7:45pm right before the start time for both the 5-mile and 10-mile routes. The race begins at 7:45pm, so be sure to arrive early to secure your spot and get familiarized with the course details.

On the day of the event, please line up according to your anticipated pace—those aiming for a 7-8 minute mile should position themselves at the front, while slower runners can find appropriate spots further back. This simple courtesy helps ensure an orderly start without any delays or confusion.
The park’s serene and picturesque setting offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature after dark. Just remember to bring mosquito repellent to keep those pesky insects away as you make your way through the trails.
