Kelsey Bradley Favrot Memorial Run & Walk
About this race
Join us for the 11th annual Kelsey Bradley Favrot Memorial 5K Run/Walk on Sunday September 27, 2026, in Audubon Park!
This event honors the memory of Kelsey Favrot, who bravely fought brain cancer and wanted to help others facing the same diagnosis. Her goal was to establish a neuro-oncology program at LSU Health New Orleans so other patients could receive quality care without having to travel out of state. The LSU Foundation has honored her wish by creating the Kelsey Bradley Favrot Chair in Neuro-Oncology.
By participating in this event, you will be supporting the LSU Department of Neurosurgery Brain Tumor Center, which provides advanced treatment and research for brain cancer patients in New Orleans. Don't miss this opportunity to run or walk for a great purpose and have fun with your friends and family!
Late registration will be available on race day but will close 30 minutes prior to race start. Participants who register on race day are not guaranteed a race shirt. Post Race refreshments, beer, and jambalaya will be provided to all registered participants.
