Log Jammer Half Marathon

Log Jammer Half Marathon takes place in Shreveport, Louisiana, on November 22, 2026, with two road distances on the program: a marathon (26.2 miles) and a half marathon (13.1 miles). The route runs past lakes, ponds, and public parks around the city, blending urban streets with more natural, waterside scenery.

Late November in northern Louisiana generally offers milder running weather than the summer months, which makes this a reasonable target for a first marathon or a late-fall half. For the full distance, plan on a 16- to 18-week build with a weekly long run and a couple of practice runs at goal pace; the half can be tackled after 10 to 12 weeks of consistent training. Runners who already have a fall race in the legs can use the half as a controlled effort rather than an all-out race. Water views along the course make the middle miles pass a little more easily.
