Event comments:

This is a great small race in a pretty area. Nice area for families as it's got a playground and picnic areas. On-site camping as well.
It's a weekend event with a X-terra and 5k on the Saturday with prizes for the fastest double and triple event combined times. A definate must-do if you are in the Northern Louisiana area.
