1 Mile Memorial Walk
Why We Run
Join us for the inaugural Dori Bee Teal Run 5K on Saturday, February 27, 2027, at 8:00 AM at Washington-Marion High School in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Held in memory of Doris “Dori Bee” Blanchard, this family-friendly community event is presented by the Dori Bee Scholarship Foundation. The race brings our community together to promote health, physical activity, brain aneurysm awareness, stroke prevention, neurological health, and educational opportunity.
Proceeds from the event will support the Dori Bee Scholarship Foundation’s mission to provide scholarships, mentoring, leadership development, and educational opportunities for deserving students pursuing higher education.
Whether you are an experienced runner, casual walker, student, family member, virtual participant, or community supporter, we invite you to join us and help make a difference — one step at a time.
Race Day Events Include:
- 5K Run/Walk
- 1-Mile Memorial Walk
- Kids Run
- Virtual 5K Run/Walk
- Community partners and vendors

Registered participants in the in-person events will receive a race shirt. Shirt sizes are guaranteed for participants registered by February 5, 2027. Registrations after that date are welcome, but selected shirt sizes are not guaranteed.
A Virtual 5K Run/Walk option is also available for supporters who want to participate from anywhere. Virtual registration does not include a race shirt, but virtual participants may purchase a race shirt with shipping as an optional add-on during registration. No local pickup option is available for virtual participants.
Come run, walk, participate virtually, volunteer, donate, sponsor, or cheer with us as we raise awareness, support education, and strengthen our community.
Run with Heart. Finish with Love.
