Lace up your running shoes for the Summer Series, Hump Day 2 Milers, a popular local event brought to you by Club South Runners in Baton Rouge, LA. Taking place on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, this particular leg of the series offers a fantastic 2-mile challenge, along with a 1/2-mile fun run for those seeking a shorter distance. Runners and walkers of all skill levels are encouraged to participate in this vibrant evening of athletic camaraderie.

The June 3rd race unfolds on the scenic Levee at L'Auberge Casino, offering a relatively flat course as you run along the mighty Mississippi River. Baton Rouge courses are known for their ease, and the levee path provides a wide, 15-foot surface with separate lanes for walkers/joggers and cyclists, ensuring a smooth experience. Typical race day conditions in early June see highs around 88°F and lows around 70°F, with a 16% chance of precipitation. Parking is conveniently available in the overflow lot at the casino, and post-race refreshments will be provided to all registered participants, capping off a delightful evening.

What makes the Summer Series truly unique is its accessible and friendly atmosphere. Known as a "low dough race series," registration is free for Club South Runners members, just $5 for students, and $10 for non-members. This Hump Day tradition also features chip timing and awards for the top three finishers in each age group, adding a touch of friendly competition to this beloved community event.
