From the Organizer
We are excited to announce the 14th Annual 5K run/walk benefiting the Women's Resource Center through the beautiful downtown Natchitoches riverbank area.
The Run, Baby, Run! 5K and Fun Run gathers participants from across the state for a lively morning jog in the Historic District of Natchitoches. This 5K Run serves as an awareness run and a fundraiser for the Women's Resource Center of Natchitoches. The Women’s Resource Center stands as a cornerstone in our community, tirelessly offering resources to local families, including free and confidential pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, prenatal education, emotional support, and material assistance. The event's proceeds contribute to operational costs, ensuring the continued delivery of vital services to the Natchitoches community and surrounding areas. Services are 100% free and confidential regardless of insurance and/or income status.
This year's run will be on the same day as the Natchitoches Jazz Festival. The Natchitoches Historic District will be rocking with the sounds of the 29th Annual Natchitoches Jazz Fest and there will be lots of fun activities in town. Come for the RUN and stay for the FUN!! https://www.natchjazzfest.com
Saturday, May 16th we will be running through downtown Natchitoches starting at the Natchitoches Riverbank!
The 1-mile fun run/walk begins at 8:00 am and the 5k run/walk begins at 8:30 am.
This beloved annual run/walk is to increase awareness and raise money for the Women's Resource Center and the services they provide for free to over 400 lives in the community annually.
