This race begins on 4th Street, at First Baptist Church, near historic downtown Eunice, goes around the block and continues for the majority of the race on Park Avenue.  Park Avenue was recently re-paved so the course is flat and smooth.  It's a beautiful oak-tree lined route with plenty of shade. 

We will have fruit and water at the finish line.  We are also planning a fun day with bake sale. 

All proceeds of Love Speaks 5K benefit mission work. This year's 5k recipient will be the Basile Community Outreach Center. This ministry, in our neighboring town of Basile, provides vital relief for families in need in many different ways. It was formed by a collective group of Christians, of different denominations, all for one goal—to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Your support is greatly appreciated!
