Best In-Person & Virtual Marathons in Louisiana for 2022
Louisiana
Home to the Jazz Capital of the World, New Orleans, there is more to the state of Louisiana than jazz music. This southeastern state is a melting pot of cultures, such as French, African, and American. This multicultural background is evident in Louisiana’s food, music, and festival scene. One of the most popular of these festivals is the Mardi Gras Festival. However, there are a variety of things to see and do in Louisiana for people of all ages and interests. Louisiana is also a famous destination for marathon runners and participants from various parts of the country. It is home to a few qualifying race events for the much anticipated Boston Marathon.
