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.
