The Event For The Year 2006 Was On The 2nd Day Of The Month Of December. The Racers For This Event Were About 600 In All, With Most Participants Running Only Half Of The Marathon. It Is Quite A Small Race Event, Which Perhaps Gains Only A Little Media Mileage. It Has A Track Though That Could Give The Racers A Good Mental And Physical Challenge. Many Were Happy About The 2006 Baton Rouge Beach Marathon. The Racers, Specifically, Were Satisfied With How The Event Was Organized. The Event Started On Time And Freebies Were Great. Such Gifts Came As A Surprise To Most, As These Were Not Advertised On The Websites When They Signed Up For The Event. Shirts, Slippers, Race Socks, Finisher Medals, Etc. Were Given. There Were No Cash Prizes Though For This Event, But Was Not A Problem By The Participants. Some Had Problems With Roads That Were Not Closed During The Run, Otherwise All Else Was Great And Fun. The Loops Around The Lake, The Track Through The LSU Campus And On Tree-lined Neighborhoods Provide For A Combination Of Visual Stimulations That Were Appreciated By The Racers Of The Baton Rouge Beach Marathon.There Was Enough Food Served As Salads, Pastries, Jambalaya, Gumbo, Etc. There Were Fresh Fruits, Sodas, Water, And Many More Refreshments Provided After The Race. Shuttles Were Provided For Travel To And From The Host Hotel.
