The Louisiana Marathon

Want to make a difference in your community by getting your supporters active? 

Join the Geaux the Distance Charity Program for the 2024 Louisiana Marathon.

Geaux the Distance is the official charity program of the Louisiana Marathon, aimed at raising funds to support local charities across Louisiana and the Capital Region. Our goal is to raise $100,000 annually, and we need your help to make it happen!

As an Official Charity Partner, you'll have the chance to recruit a team of runners/walkers who commit to raising a minimums for your charity by race day ($250 for Saturday races, $400 for Sunday races).

All of the money raised through the Geaux the Distance charity program will be donated directly to our selected charity partners, ensuring that your fundraising efforts go directly to supporting those in need. So, what are you waiting for? Join Geaux the Distance today and make your miles count for a better Louisiana!
