Armadillo Dash 5K & Half Marathon Trail Run

Armadillo Dash is a trail running event at the Bonnet Carré Spillway Trail in Norco, Louisiana, featuring a 5K and a Half Marathon (13.1 miles) starting and finishing at the Boat Launch Pavilion. The 100% trail course is well-marked and maintained, with uneven, unpaved surfaces, quick turns, uphill and downhill sections, and several wood bridge crossings. The 5K is a single loop; the half-marathon course is posted as finalized. The race blends competition with a festive post-race party—craft beer, local food, live music, and a yoga zone—plus a dog-friendly area at the finish. It’s chip-timed, with finisher medals and shirts, and automatic age-based discounts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
