Sam's Run

Sam's Run is a 5K running event held annually on the campus of Louisiana State University Shreveport (LSUS) in Shreveport, Louisiana. Scheduled for June 14, 2025, the race benefits the Look in the Mirror Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to guiding teenagers and young adults toward positive life choices in memory of Samuel Walker Lees. Participants can register for the 5K or join as Phantom Runners who support the cause remotely.

The course allows baby joggers and strollers but prohibits dogs, bikes, and skate devices. The event features gender-specific adult shirts, age group awards, and a post-race party with refreshments, music, and food. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
