Join us for the Franklin Parish Catfish Classic on Saturday, April 26, 2025, in the charming town of Baskin, Louisiana! This beloved local tradition is the area's oldest race, and this year promises to be a fantastic event for participants and spectators alike. The race will start and finish at the Baskin Town Hall, featuring a flat and predominantly paved route perfect for runners of all ages and abilities.
Participants can look forward to a variety of age group categories, from youth (14 and under) to seasoned racers (71 and older), ensuring everyone has a chance to compete. The entry fee of $25 not only includes a stylish race T-shirt if registered by April 20, but also supports a worthy cause—proceeds will benefit Tracey Ready in her courageous battle against breast cancer. Plus, enjoy a delicious treat of free fried catfish post-race! Come out, wear purple in support of Tracey, and be part of this uplifting community event. Don’t miss the excitement of the Franklin Parish Catfish Classic!
