About the 2027 Zydeco Marathon - 26.2 Full | 13.1 Half | Team Relay | 5k | 1 Mile
The marathon and half start on Jefferson Street and finish at Parc International, threading through several distinct Lafayette neighborhoods: the Saint Streets, the area around the Cajundome, Downtown, Freetown, and the Oil Center. The relay course description gives a clear sense of how much ground the route covers, moving through residential streets and past the university campus before returning downtown.
Packet pickup opens the evening before the shorter races and continues through the morning of those events at Parc International on Garfield Street. The marathon and half start from Jefferson Street the following morning, with no packet pickup or shuttles on that day. The finish line festival at Parc International includes food, drinks, and music.

The 2027 Zydeco Marathon - 26.2 Full | 13.1 Half | Team Relay | 5k | 1 Mile has been held every year since at least 2014. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
