Baton Rouge, LA
The course runs through downtown Baton Rouge, starting near the Governor's Mansion on Capitol Access Road. It is a charity race tied to human trafficking awareness, organized through a troopers' charitable fund, so the crowd skews toward people who showed up for the cause as much as for the miles. Packet pickup opens early on race morning, so there is no separate trip the day before.

The Human Trafficking Awareness 5K has been held every year since at least 2026. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 41:01, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:21:38, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
A field of 230 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 3.1 Miles winner ran 19:48 while the median finisher took 41:01. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
