About the race
Camellia Crossing is a Thanksgiving Eve night run in Lafayette, Louisiana, returning for its 22nd year. The course runs along Camellia Boulevard to River Ranch Town Square, offering four race options: 1 mile Run/Walk (adults and children) and 5k Gleaux Run, plus children’s versions. Participants receive gleaux gear, a glow-in-the-dark Camellia Crossing shirt, a race bib with timing chip, and access to food and drinks after the race, with an official after-party.
The event is community-focused, with 100% of donations supporting Miles Perret Cancer Services; proceeds benefit local families fighting cancer in Acadiana. It blends a festive glow-in-the-dark atmosphere with family-friendly participation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
