2026 Ragin' Cajuns King Cake Baby Race
The Ragin' Cajuns are searching for the fastest baby crawlers in Acadiana to compete in the inaugural King Cake Baby Race during halftime on Thursday, February 12, when Louisiana Men's Basketball takes on Coastal Carolina at 7:00 PM in the CAJUNDOME.
At halftime, crawling babies will race across the court with their parents or guardians cheering them on from both sides of the track. The first baby to crawl across the designated finish line—or the baby leading when time expires—will be crowned the King Cake Baby Race Champion!
Babies must be crawling only. Any baby who walks will be disqualified.
To participate, sign up using the form below. Spots are limited, so don’t wait! A member of the Ragin' Cajuns Athletics Marketing Staff will contact you to confirm participation and provide additional details closer to the event.
If you have any questions, email us at geauxcajuns@louisiana.edu. We look forward to seeing you and your little one for this exciting halftime race!
