Footprints Forever 5K

The Footprints Forever 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk is an annual event held in Lafayette, Louisiana, at River Ranch Town Square. Celebrating its 16th anniversary in 2025, the event offers a 5K and a 1-mile run/walk for both adults and children, welcoming runners, walkers, and strollers. The race supports Maddie’s Footprints, a nonprofit aiding families affected by miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss in the Acadiana region.

Participants can join in person or virtually, with opportunities to fundraise or sponsor the event. Awards are given to the top male and female finishers in both distances, fostering a supportive and community-focused atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
