About the 2026 Shrimp Festival Run
The race is tied to the National Shrimp Festival, a long-running coastal event in the area. The course has changed over the years, and the current route reflects those transitions from an earlier incarnation that ran through Bayou Village. It has a festival atmosphere around it, though the race itself is a standalone timed event.
