The Arc Caddo-Bossier’s GREAT Program presents a combined running and paddle event at Fox Creek Farms in Shreveport, Louisiana on October 3, 2026. The event features a 5K run and a Paddlefest that includes a 2 mile paddle, plus a separate post race party held at the farm.

Entry options list base fees for the event components: 5K only, Paddlefest only, and a combined 5K and Paddlefest entry. The post race party is listed as a separate entry. Several race entries include one ticket to the post race party. Registration by September 18 is required to be guaranteed a race shirt.
