There is only one race that is as fun-filled, colorful and slightly wacky as Mardi Gras: The Run for Your Beads 5K . That means you'll enjoy all the fun and historic scenery of Soulard with mid-race pit stops stocked with beer and hurricanes for legally aged runners. Make sure to dress in your best Mardi Gras garb, because in addition to prizes for the winners of each division, we’ll be honoring the runner with the best costume.
