Krewe McKey Fitness 5K

The Krewe McKey Fitness 5K, set for Saturday, February 7, 2026, in Zachary, LA, offers a vibrant kick-off to your Mardi Gras season with both a 5K and a 1-mile fun run. Starting at 4608 Virginia St, this event promises an atmosphere brimming with music, local energy, and community spirit, perfect for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. The 5K welcomes those looking to achieve a personal best, jog with friends, or simply enjoy a scenic walk.

Participants can expect typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 66F and lows near 43F, and a low 16% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a fantastic race experience. This second annual event is more than just a race; it's a celebration of health and fitness that also gives back. A portion of all proceeds is dedicated to supporting the Must Luv Dogs Foundation and Susan G Komen, allowing your participation to make a positive impact in the community.

Gather your "Krewe" and join in the post-race fun, which often includes local food trucks, live music, and even a "Must Luv Dog Parade" with same-day dog adoptions, adding a unique and heartwarming touch to the festivities. Whether you're aiming for a strong finish or a leisurely stroll, the Krewe McKey Fitness 5K offers a memorable and uplifting experience in Zachary.
