🎷 Mardi Gras Costume Contest 🎷
Think you’ve got the most Mardi Gras spirit? Prove it before the race begins!
Pull out all the stops — beads, feathers, sequins, masks, wigs — the wilder the better. Contestants will show off their outfits at the start line, and the audience will crown the winner with their cheers.
The winner will receive a Bigfoot Prize Pack and the honor of being named the official Grand Marshal of Mardi Gras Madness, leading the race parade-style just like in New Orleans.
Volunteers will toss out Mardi Gras beads so you can run draped in purple, green, and gold!
