    What a fun event for Baton Rouge. I ran the half marathon. People from all 50 states came and 15…read morecountries. The race route is scenic and so much fun. People come out with signs and food and drinks to cheer on the runners. The finish fest is awesome with gumbo, jambalaya, red beans and king cake! I would recommend this race for sure!!

    I have participated in the Louisiana Marathon Weekend for several years, and the event just keeps…read moregetting better. Adults have four different races to choose from - 5k or Quarter on Saturday, Half or Full on Sunday. There's a bonus if you do one each day - go home with your own crawfish tray for doing the "Deja Vu." There is a kids marathon program as well on Saturday. Both days have amazing finisher festivals with local restaurants and beer vendors, as well as dance til you drop music and talent. One of the first things you notice when you walk up - there are about 50-75 port-o-lets lined up for you - almost no line at all, so you can rid your body of pre-race nerves. There is a large coffee truck with free drinks, and over by the gear drop, there is plenty of water and sports drinks in case you need to hydrate. The residents of Baton Rouge have embraced this race as one of the best times, even when not running it - there are all sorts of rogue water and other supply stops around the route (shots, beer, donuts, mimosas, candy, tissue, etc). You run through some historic areas of Baton Rouge, around LSU, the famous LSU lakes, and through several residential areas. Music surrounds you, and it's hard not to make great new friends along the route. The course is mostly flat and several BQs are made every year. It's a fun one for those doing their first or their 121st marathon or race. Free race pictures, awesome medals every year, and awesome spectating. You won't be disappointed with this race weekend, Come down to see us and pass a good time, y'all!

    Getting to go watch Monster Trucks run over things! Heck yeah! This is a fun event! It does get…read morereally loud, so make sure to put in ear plugs. Escpically the kids and babies. They start out by having all the trucks drive out one by one. Gravedigger is the fan favorite and has his own song! I liked the one that was a school bus! The first thing they do is race two against two to see who has the fastest time. They keep going till they get a winner. Then after that, the motor cross guys come out and race 4wheelers. Then the trucks do a donut event where they see who does the best donuts! My favorite event is the freestyle. Then bring out cars and ramps. The trucks ride around and do wheelies, crush the cars, do spins, and fly through the air. Sometimes they will flip over and land upside down. It's a really fun event to come watch and fun for the whole family!

    I had high expectations for my five year old to love Monster Jam. Five minutes in, I knew I was…read morewrong. It seemed to be more entertaining for older kids, but the amount of action versus downtime was very lopsided. The trucks would only be in action for seconds between lots of filler of talking and loud music. The noise was okay because we remembered to bring ear plugs, but the smell of the exhaust fumes in an enclosed arena was a major turnoff. For $25 for good seats I guess it was a good deal if your kids were into it, but mine and my friends child both wanted leave before it was over.
