Race Day
The 10K, 15K & 1 Mile Fun Run are not capped at this time.
There are no pacers for the Mardi Gras Mambo. Runners will self-seed in corrals based on their anticipated finish time. Corrals with pace signs will be marked in the start chute. The faster runners will be in the front, the slower runners will be in the back.
We encourage you to invite friends and family to cheer you on along the course, but they are only allowed to run with you if they are registered runners. Per USA Track & Field rules, elements that could impede the safety of runners, such as bikes, skates, skateboards, strollers and pets on the course, are not allowed. The safety of our runners is our number one priority. By signing or clicking ’I Accept’ on any Mardi Gras Mambo registration race waiver, you are agreeing to abide by the Rules of Competition.
Participants will be able to use listening devices during the running of the event, but they do so at their own risk. Runner safety is, and will continue to be, the priority for all of our events. To ensure a safe and enjoyable race for everyone, we ask that you please be mindful of the other participants and race personnel.
You MUST be aware of your surroundings at all times and this includes being able to hear any verbal warnings/instructions from police/course officials or the sound of any vehicles and other participants on the course. The abuse of portable headphone devices can result in disqualification. Abuse refers to being so distracted that you become a hazard to yourself, your fellow participants, spectators, course marshals, finish line officials, medical personnel, other race officials, police personnel or vehicle traffic.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. We must constantly consider the safety of all our participants, volunteers and spectators and review this rule as well as others in order to ensure the continued safety of our participants.

Participants can pre-pay for Medal Engraving. The cost is $15. On race day participants will bring their finisher medal to the "Medal Engraving" tent located in the finish area. Receipt printers are available to print a ticket with your name and finish time. Medal engraving takes less than 5 minutes. If there is a line, participants can leave their medal with race staff to complete. Be sure to come back to claim it before you depart; we will not ship unclaimed medals.
Participants are able to purchase Medal Engraving on race day for $20.
