Mudbug Madness 5k

The Mudbug Madness 5k takes place in Shreveport, Louisiana, scheduled for May 23, 2026. The event marks its 42nd anniversary and features a course that starts and finishes in the southbound lane of the Clyde Fant Parkway, located across from the Sci-Port Discovery Center.

Participants can choose from the following event distances:

  • 3.1 miles (5k)
  • 3.1 miles (5k Kids Run)
  • 3.1 miles (5k Wheelchair)

Registered participants receive an official race T-shirt, though sizes are only guaranteed for those who register by mid-May. An option is available during registration to decline the shirt for a reduced entry fee. Packet pickup is held at a local running store in the days leading up to the race or at the event site on the morning of the run.

The event includes an awards ceremony for multiple categories. In the adult individual divisions, gift cards are awarded to the overall winners and runners-up. Specific age group awards are also presented for both adults and children, ranging from those aged 8 and under to those 70 and older. The wheelchair division recognizes the first overall male and female finishers.

After the race, participants with an official race bib gain free entry into the Mudbug festival for the remainder of the day, where live entertainment, food, and drinks are available. For safety reasons, bikes, skate devices, and dogs are prohibited on the course. Participants using baby joggers are required to start at the back of the group.
