🎭 MARDI GRAS 5K — ATLANTA


A Party With a Race!


Atlanta, it's time to LET THE GOOD TIMES RUN! 💜💚💛

Purple. Green. Gold. Beads flying. Music playing. And 3.1 miles of Mardi Gras magic!

On Saturday, February 6, 2027, we're bringing the spirit of Mardi Gras to Atlanta for an unforgettable morning of running, walking, music, costumes, and celebration.

This isn't your ordinary 5K.

It's a Mardi Gras party — with a race thrown in!

Whether you're chasing a personal record, strolling with friends, or showing up in your most outrageous Mardi Gras outfit, there's a place for you at this celebration.

Run it. Walk it. Dance your way through it. Just don't miss it.

🎺 THE FINISH LINE IS JUST THE BEGINNING!


When you cross the finish line, the celebration is waiting!

We're talking:

🎺 LIVE SECOND-LINE MUSIC! Feel the energy of live musicians bringing the spirit of New Orleans to Atlanta.
🎭 MARDI GRAS COSTUMES! Masks, feathers, sequins, and outrageous outfits are highly encouraged.
📿 BEADS, BEADS & MORE BEADS! Because what's Mardi Gras without beads?
🍩 BEIGNETS! A little taste of New Orleans to celebrate your accomplishment.
🏅 AN INCREDIBLE FINISHER MEDAL! A colorful, custom-designed Mardi Gras keepsake you'll actually want to display.
👕 OFFICIAL RACE SHIRT! A vibrant commemorative shirt worthy of the celebration.
🎉 A FINISH-LINE PARTY! Great music, great people, and plenty of Mardi Gras energy.


Come for the race. Stay for the celebration!

👑 THE FOUNDING 100 KREWE


Every great tradition has a beginning. This one starts with YOU.

We're recognizing the first 100 people who register as members of the inaugural Founding Krewe!

In addition to the regular race experience, Founding Krewe members receive:

  • Exclusive Founding Krewe Mardi Gras beads
  • Commemorative Krewe doubloon
  • Founding 100 recognition on our website
  • Early access to future Mardi Gras 5K registrations

Only 100 spots. Once they're claimed, this founding opportunity is gone.

Don't just run the race. Help start the tradition!

🏆 FAST OR FESTIVE — YOU CAN WIN!


We're celebrating speed, spirit, and creativity.

Competitive runners can chase overall and age-group honors, while our Mardi Gras costume competitions give everyone an opportunity to shine.

Bring the feathers. Bring the sparkle. Bring your Krewe!

💜💚💛 FIND YOUR KREWE! Mardi Gras is better together.

Bring your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, or running club and make this an experience you'll be talking about long after the last bead has been thrown.

You don't have to be fast. You don't have to be a runner. You just have to be ready for a good time.
