Jungle Gardens Run
Welcome to the Jungle
Jungle Gardens Highway 329, Avery Island, Louisiana
When it comes to legging it through one of the prettiest outdoor settings in Acadiana, you're going to be hard-pressed to find a better location than Avery Island's Jungle Gardens. The races will be held on the hard pack road that travels throughout the very varied and beautifully laid-out gardens. Events include a 7k trail run, 5k run, a 1-mile fun run, and a Virtual 5K or 7K. Food, entertainment and awards will follow, and all entrants will receive a full-day pass to explore the gardens and enjoy the area. Proceeds go toward helping the children of St. Jude children's research hospital. 8 am. $25–$45 to register. runsignup.com.
