CRRC Summer Series 1 Mile and Sneaux Cones

Lace up your running shoes for a refreshing evening challenge at the CRRC Summer Series 1 Mile and Sneaux Cones, taking place on June 25, 2026, in Lafayette, LA. This lively event, part of the popular Cajun Road Runners Club Summer Series, offers a unique opportunity to test your speed over a measured one-mile course. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 91F and lows near 75F, coupled with a 19% chance of precipitation, making the post-race "sneaux cones" a particularly welcome treat.

The race kicks off at 6:00 PM at the scenic Moncus Park, with check-in conveniently located under a big oak tree from 5:00 PM to 5:45 PM. The calibrated course begins at the overflow lot, guiding participants on a single, counter-clockwise lap around Moncus Park, winding towards the pond before concluding behind the iconic big oak tree. This mass-start, one-mile time trial is less about medals and more about the sheer joy of running and community, with bragging rights and a delicious snow cone awaiting all finishers.

More than just a run, the CRRC Summer Series 1 Mile and Sneaux Cones is a fantastic social occasion, inviting friends and fellow runners to share a fun, no-pressure evening. While there are no traditional awards, the camaraderie and the refreshing "sneaux cones" create a memorable atmosphere. Park in the main lot off Johnston Street and prepare for an enjoyable dash through Moncus Park, proving that some of the best race experiences are simply about running, socializing, and a sweet, icy reward.
