Beignet Boogie has turned into largest 5-K race in Vermilion Parish

The Beignet Boogie 5-K-Mile Run has become the biggest running event in Vermilion Parish and it continues to grow each year.
On Sunday, before the race, there were 466 runners/walkers who signed up to compete in the 5-K/ one mile run at Mt. Carmel Elementary and Vermilion Catholic High School.
The money raised from the race is a fund raiser for the schools.
When the race was over, the runners/walkers were treated to beignets. Just under 2,000 beignets were cooked Sunday morning for the participants.
The top three overall winners were between the age of 16 and 18 year old.
Colt Hardee, an 18-year-old senior at Kaplan High School, won the event with a time of 18:43.2. He edged a familiar face, Ethan Suire, a junior cross country runner from Erath High School. Suire finished one second behind Hardee (18:44.6). Twelve seconds behind Suire in third place was 16-year-old Cameron Carpenter (18:58.6) of Erath High.
