Laketown Distance Festival Run/Walk
The Laketown Distance Festival Run/Walk takes place on Saturday, January 23, 2027, at the Kenner Lakefront on Lake Pontchartrain at the end of Williams Blvd. The event benefits the Kenner Rotary Club and offers three distances:
- 5K
- 10K
- 10 Mile
All participants receive chip timing, a long-sleeve poly-cotton event shirt, a custom finisher medal, and post-race refreshments. Post-race food and drink offerings listed for participants include pancakes with sausage, coffee from Alinea, a mimosa bar, beer provided by Southern Eagle Distributors, soft drinks, fruit, and sweet treats from local suppliers.
The course runs on a paved lakefront jogging path that is about nine feet wide. The 10 Mile course is USATF-RRTC certified (Certification # LA14016JF). There are numerous aid stations on course and a lead bike for each distance. The 10 Mile distance has a course time limit of 2 hours, 45 minutes. Participants are asked to keep to the right on the out-and-back sections and to avoid headphones or ear gear that limit the ability to hear event instructions.
Packet pickup is scheduled the Thursday before the event at Ron Jewelers, 4103 Williams Blvd, Kenner, LA 70065, during the posted pickup hours. There is free parking at lakefront parking lots by the race site and on the south side of the levee between Williams Blvd and the Pontchartrain Center.
