Welcome to year 6 of The Old School @ LPP!! Guess what?!  No price increase!  Everything else is increasing but not the price of this race from last year to this year.  There are tiers so get in early and pay less!   This is an "Old School" style mud, dirt, blood and tears trail run at Lincoln Parish Park in Ruston, Louisiana.  LPP is one of the best kept trail secrets in Louisiana.  This race is 3 distances.  We will have a 5 mile, a 10 mile, and a 20 mile race.  The 5 mile race is a 1/2 loop of a 10 mile course.  The 10 mile is a whole loop, the 20 mile is two, 10 mile loops.  There will be an aid station at the start/finish area and there will be an aid station on the course at about mile 4 & 6.  This race is now partnering with Rad Racing for timing but guarantee to expect the same Get On A Trail energy from previous years and excellent support from Ruston based businesses and a charity: There is a price increase on February 1st and March 1st.  You may not get a s

Louisiana Tech University's Society of Women Engineers chapter is excited to host our eighth annual Run Like a Girl 5k on March 21 st, 2026. All proceeds from this event will be donated to 4 PAWS Rescue, USA, in an effort to support the animal shelter in our local area.  We met our goal last year to raise at least $2,000 for 4 PAWS Rescue and raise awareness of the importance of volunteering and/or considering adoption when looking for a family pet and we would like to match that goal this year. We will be having an additional add-on in which it will allow participants to walk with a dog from the Rescue during the 5K for $5! The add-on can be purchased with or without a shirt in the Events section. Also feel free to come walk with your own dog (water bowls will be available throughout the race).   The 5k will begin and end at IESB (Integrated Engineering and Science Building) on Louisiana Tech's campus. Each participant who does the run/walk route will receive an official final
