Mainly Marathons Riverboat Series Day 1 (LA)

The Mainly Marathons Riverboat Series – Day 1 course in Civitan Park consists of multiple out-and-backs with a loop through the park (1.191 miles total); smooth asphalt path with minimal elevation change. Number of Laps: 11 for half marathon, 22 for full marathon (subject to change).

Due to the unique multi-loop course setup, there is one giant “aid station,” with more food and drink than you could ever need! Ask anyone who’s run at least one of our races; we’ve got everything from fruit to jelly beans to sandwiches, water to Gatorade to hot coffee, and everything in between. Way more than just granola bars and bananas – we even have our very own mobile kitchen, Loony Lunchbox!

Every participant (full or half marathon) will receive one t-shirt and other fun goodies. All finishers will receive a separate medal for each day; in addition, we give a special medal to those who complete all races in a series. We even give a special award to each person participating in his or her first full or half marathon! The best part: The famous caboose, given to the final finisher of each marathon and half marathon!

Civitan Park is 98 miles from the next day’s race in Arkansas. A stop in picturesque downtown Winnsboro, with antique shops and old time storefronts, is like a time warp. Visit the Old Post Office Museum at 513 Prairie St. Admission is free but is only open on weekdays.
