Scholarships

The Cajun Road Runners high school scholarship program aims to support local athletes continuing their running journey alongside their pursuit of higher education. Funds for the program are raised through the Sneaux Cone race series, a quartet of fun one-mile races through the summer meant for all ages and abilities. 

Nominations for the scholarship can be made by high school coaches by emailing Ryan at racedirector@cajunroadrunners.com. Nominations should include details about the athlete including accolades, accomplishments, what school they plan to attend, and other reasons why they are a fitting recipient. Nominations are expected by May 29th and recipients will be honored at the June Sneaux Cone Mile.
