Glen Oaks Magnet High School Army JROTC 5K

Lace up for a vibrant community event at the inaugural Glen Oaks Magnet High School Army JROTC 5K and 1M, set to take place on Saturday, April 4, 2026, in Baton Rouge, LA. This exciting new race offers both a 5K run/walk and a 1-mile distance, welcoming participants of all ages and fitness levels to the Glen Oaks High School football stadium, which will serve as both the start and finish line for the event. Typical race day conditions in early April in Baton Rouge boast pleasant highs around 77°F and lows near 54°F, with a low chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a memorable spring run.

More than just a race, this event is a heartfelt celebration of community pride, youth leadership, and a tribute to local military members, cadets, and veterans. All proceeds from the Glen Oaks Magnet High School Army JROTC 5K directly benefit the Cadets of the Glen Oaks Magnet High School Army JROTC program. These vital funds support life-changing service learning projects, leadership training, and competitive JROTC events, empowering cadets and fostering future leaders within the Baton Rouge community and beyond.
