This is our 3rd annual Mardi Gras Mile that will take place on Saturday, March 1, 2025 at 11:00am to kickoff the New Bern Mardi Gras Festival in Historic Ghent. This will give our racers a one-of-a-kind experience to run through the streets with the crowd lined up to cheer them on. Racers are encouraged to wear their best Mardi Gras Attire. Race information and runner registration will be through Run the East (runtheeast.com). 

Proceeds from this race will benefit the We Can Be Association. The We Can Be Association is a local non-profit organization that provides assistance for equipment funding, therapy scholarships, and family/caregiver education to exceptional children in Eastern NC. We will be opening a Children's Museum and Enrichment Center in New Bern, NC to continue our mission of supporting children and families.
