Louisiana Watermelon Festival 5k

The 2025 Louisiana Watermelon Festival 5k is set to take place in Farmerville, LA, offering a challenging course that includes a fast downhill first mile followed by a steep incline known as "Watermelon Mountain." Proceeds from the event will benefit the Willpower Foundation, a non-profit organization supporting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Participants can enjoy slices of locally grown Louisiana watermelon at the finish line, and all registered runners will receive a race t-shirt.

Awards will be given across various age categories, and registration is available online until July 25, 2025. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
