Louisiana Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, steady gains ahead
Runners will face a gradual temperature increase from 44°F at the start to 61°F by the finish, with average humidity at 62%. Expect headwinds from miles 1-4 and 12, which may slow down early pace, while tailwinds from miles 8-10 and 20 can provide advantages. Hydration should be prioritized due to the prolonged crosswinds, particularly in the later miles where runners will need to maintain energy.

Race Info
The Louisiana Marathon was established in 2012 with a two-fold mission. The first was to encourage our community to embrace a more active lifestyle and help us become a healthier, fitter state. The second was to be a major racing event on the winter road racing calendar known as a unique running festival that celebrates passion for the sport of running, combined with Louisiana culture.
