Join the Inaugural Five Mile Eatery 5K Fun Run!

Join us on Sunday, October 26, 2025 for the very first Five Mile Eatery 5K Fun Run through the heart of the Oil Center! This isn’t just a run - it’s a celebration of wellness, local food, and the community we love. Together, we’re raising funds for the folks prioritizing Acadiana’s locally grown food: the Acadiana Food Alliance.

Kick Off the Morning, Five Mile Style

Packet pick-up begins at 6:00am, then we’ll start the day with movement and good energy as Basin Arts leads a lively, themed warm-up. From there, hit the pavement alongside neighbors, friends, and fellow food lovers for a 5K packed with fresh air, good vibes, and free coffee & pastries at the finish line - our way of saying thanks for showing up.

Why We Run

This Fun Run is all about connection - neighbors to businesses, runners to local farmers, and our community to the land that sustains us. With 20% of proceeds benefiting the Acadiana Food Alliance, every step supports a stronger, more resilient local food system right here in South Louisiana. We’re expecting 150–200 participants, so gather your crew and sign up early!

Your registration includes:

• Entry to the inaugural Five Mile 5K Fun Run
• A Five Mile Eatery bandana & swag bag
• Free coffee & pastries at the finish line - Five Mile will not be open for regular business.
• A feel-good morning with great people and even better energy

No race day registration.

This is a Fun Run and not a timed race—come ready to move, laugh, and be part of something special.
