Meche's Mile presented by Tour de Lafayette is a running race on December 27, 2026 in Lafayette, LA, with entry fees from $25 to $30.
What’s up friends! WELCOME BACK for the 2nd annual Meche's Mile put on by Tour de Lafayette at Moncus Park on SUNDAY, DECEMBER 27, 2026 at 8:00AM where participants will have the option to run an open mile or a DONUT mile (my preferred option!). I am excited to announce we are partnering with Meche’s Donut King, so participants in the donut mile must finish one Meche’s glazed donut before crossing the starting line and complete a one-mile loop around Moncus Park. Those who wish to run the open mile will start when the gun goes off as normal. This race is all about FUN, MOVEMENT, and COMMUNITY! Bring your family, your friends, and your best self to run, walk or a lil bit of both! The purpose of this race is to encourage you to sign up for that running event without fear. Running can be spooky but this race is about having fun, making memories, PLUS THERE’S DONUTS (if you run the donut mile hehe).
SEE Y’ALL SOON!
