Cajun Country Run

Cajun Country Run (CCR) started in 2002 and became a primary supporter of T.R.A.I.L. in 2010. Today, the event offers 5 running options. The road race options include a half-marathon (a USATF certified single loop), a 10k and, a 5k road race. The trail courses include 10k & 5k that offer a mix cross country and single track sections. The 10k course will take you on some technical sections along the banks of the Vermilion River.

The hallmark of the CCR is the home made alligator head trophies, compliments of CajunBens.net.

Proceeds from the CCR have allowed T.R.A.I.L. to do work in and around Acadiana Park. In 2012, TRAIL purchased property to add to the Acadiana Park & Nature Station. TRAIL has also help fund some improvements to the mountain bike trail system built and maintained by Mountain Bike Lafayette. In 2018, TRAIL teamed up with Joshua Wilson, Boy Scout Troop 271 of the Evangeline Area Council to install two benches and eight map stands to guide visitors throughout the northern section of the Acadiana Nature Trails.
