About Me

Come be a part of the Mardi Gras festivities in Lafayette, Louisiana. Skate a marathon, or half marathon, then join in on the other events for the remainder of the day and the whole weekend.... if you can handle it!!!!

The course is a smooth, concrete city boulevard, 2.2 miles in length, with the start/finish line directly in front of the CajunDome - 444 Cajundome Blvd, Lafayette, LA.

Marathon categories:

Open, ages: 10-17, 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+
Half Marathon categories:

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

We welcome all skaters - inline speed and recreational skates are both welcome, as well as quad skates. Some of the roller derby girls are planning to attend!

We also welcome friends of the skating community to help by volunteering to hand out water, monitor the course, etc.

We welcome anyone interested to be our MySpace Friends.
Online registration coming on active.com - we will offer early bird registration prices, so check back often to see the latest updates.
