Le Course des Cajun 5k/1mile
Arnaudville, LA
Sep. 28, 2002


Between Hurricane Isadore and Hurricane LiLi, Myron Chautin had an exciting weekend in Arnaudville. As race director for the La Course des Cajun 5K and 1 mile runs, Myron produced his own whirlwind. He managed to attract Dick Edwards from as far away as Houston and played host for the youngest runner, Zachary Escuriex (9) and the “most experienced” runner, John Gaidry (74).

Running through downtown Arnaudville and along the beautiful, slow moving, oak lined Bayou Teche, runners ended the last Saturday in September with a nice morning run. They were brought through a stretch and warm up exercise by an aerobic teacher. Live zydeco music livened their pace and as a cool down, Myron treated them to good Cajun food. Although Myron did not run, his son Richie and his wife Karen did their duty, each bringing home an award for their age category.

As a reminder, put this very entertaining run on your calendar for next year. Mark the last weekend in September and come enjoy good food, great music and friendly company in Arnaudville along the beautiful, lazy Bayou Teche. Myron hopes to see more of you next year and is already preparing a good taste of Cajun food for the hearty appetites of dedicated runners.
