NEW FOR 2027! The Mardi Gras Mambo is bringing the post-race party to A.Z. Young Park! After you cross the finish line, there’s no need to rush home; the Baton Rouge Clinic Finish Fest Carnival is just getting started.

Give yourself plenty of time to celebrate with a true Mardi Gras breakfast featuring King Cake from Caluda’s, jambalaya, and ice-cold Abita beer (21+). The Carnival keeps rolling until 11:30 AM, so stick around, grab some food, and enjoy the post-race festivities.

The Finish Fest Carnival is open to the public, but food and beer are reserved for registered runners with tickets attached to their race bibs. Runners must have a valid ID present or have presented an ID at check-in.

WHAT: Baton Rouge Clinic Finish Fest Carnival 

WHEN: 9:00am - 11:30am
