Kelsey Bradley Favrot Memorial Run & Walk

The Kelsey Bradley Favrot Memorial Run & Walk is an annual 5K in New Orleans, held in Audubon Park with the start and finish at Shelter 10 on Magazine Street. It is a run-or-walk event rather than a runners-only race, and it also includes a half-mile option for kids 13 and under. The event honors Kelsey Favrot, who fought brain cancer and wanted LSU Health New Orleans to have a neuro-oncology program so local patients would not have to leave the state for care. Entry supports the LSU Department of Neurosurgery Brain Tumor Center, which works on brain cancer treatment and research in New Orleans. After the race, participants get refreshments, beer, and jambalaya.
