Louisiana Watermelon Festival 5k

The 2025 Louisiana Watermelon Festival 5k is set to take place in Farmerville, LA, offering a challenging course that features a fast downhill first mile followed by a steep incline known as "Watermelon Mountain." This event not only promotes fitness but also supports a good cause, with proceeds benefiting the Willpower Foundation, which raises funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Participants will enjoy locally grown watermelon slices at the finish line, and all registered runners will receive a race t-shirt.

Awards will be presented across various age categories, making it a fun and competitive event for all. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
