From the Organizer
The ChuckFAST FridayNite 5K has finally returned!!
Kick off Chuck Fest weekend with a glowing celebration of community, culture, and cardio at the ChuckFAST GleauxRun 5K & 1Mile FunRun, happening the night before the big festival in Downtown Lake Charles! It all supports the Arts & Humanities Council of SWLA, so you’re running for a great cause.
We are turning up the energy with the most vibrant race Southwest Louisiana has seen with full-on GleauxRun — because in SWLA, we don’t just Glow… we GLEAUX!
Runners will score some serious swag, including a specially designed ChuckFest GleauxRun T-shirt and Glow Gear to keep you shining every step of the way.
Both the timed 5K and the 1-mile FunRun wind through the heart of Downtown Lake Charles and its beautiful historic neighborhoods complete with a DJ pickup truck leading the way, neon vibes, like a true Louisiana-style PARADE on foot!
And at the finish line? The reward is worth every step — delicious local food, cold drinks, and the kind of good times only SWLA can serve up. The 5K is a timed event with specialty Finisher medals. So lace up, glow up, and laissez les bon temps rouler at the ChuckFest GleauxRun!
Running for the Arts!
