SUPER COOPER 5K (New Location)
SAVE THE DATE — MARCH 6, 2027
📍 Southdown Plantation - Houma

We’re excited to announce a special collaboration between two of Houma’s favorite fundraisers! With both events happening at the same place.

🏃‍♂️❤️ The 21st Annual Super Cooper 5K will kick off the morning with registration starting at 7:00 AM at its new location! Founded and organized by Cooper Life Fund, this beloved event has brought our community together for 21 years to support the Terrebonne General Health System NICU & families with critically ill newborns.

Once the race wraps up, the celebration continues! No need to even get in your car.

🍲🔥 At 10:00 AM doors open for Roux for A Reason—an afternoon of great food, great people & a great cause, benefiting the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center.

From supporting the tiniest fighters in our community to helping local families battling cancer, March 6th is a day to come together & make a difference.

Run Super Cooper 5K! Stay for Roux for a Reason!

Bring your family & friends. Bring your running shoes & your appetite….Bring your heart! ♥️

On March 28, 2026 we celebrated our 20th year of Super Cooper racing in Houma, LA. We raised $12,000 in proceeds this year for a combined $270,500 raised over our 20 years. 100% of these proceeds stay right here in our community going towards the families and babies of the Terrebonne General Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Every dark cloud has a silver lining, and we make it our mission to help find them. Cooper’s miraculous survival reminded us just how precious life is. While we celebrate that gift with all families facing the unexpected when their newborns are admitted into the NICU, we also stand closely with the families who didn’t get the same miracle. You are not alone, and we are here to support you through the sorrow.
