Every year in March runners from across the US and from all corners of the world travel into Lafayette, Louisiana to run the Zydeco Marathon. The race has grown to now incorporate 1 mile, 5K, and relay events in addition to the original full and half marathon distances. Zydeco Marathon brings together all those things that are great about Acadiana - including some of the best food and music in the world! Our Finish Line Festival features food from Lafayette's finest restaurants and musicians such as Grammy award winning Chubby Carrier. If you are looking for a race that delivers on all levels, Zydeco Marathon is for you!
