Ainsley's Angels Rolling On The River 5K

Ainsley's Angels Rolling On The River 5K takes place in West Monroe, Louisiana, on November 7, 2026, with a 4:30 p.m. start. The single 5K is a community event open to participants of every ability, set in scenic surroundings beside the river, and it is built around inclusion: experienced runners and casual walkers get the same day out.

A late-afternoon start suits anyone who would rather not race on a barely awake stomach at dawn. Eat normally, keep the last meal light and about three hours out, and warm up properly, since you will have been sitting for much of the day. Riverside routes are typically flat, which makes even pacing easy whether you are running for a time or pushing alongside someone else. Plan on 20 to 40 minutes running, or roughly an hour walking.
