Course Description
Every Course is Flat & Fast!
Imagine a course that starts at the New Orleans Museum of Art in the heart of City Park. As you leave the park your passing Bayou St. John on your way to the New Orleans Lakefront, which sits on the banks of Lake Pontchartrain on the northern edge of the city. Along the New Orleans Lakefront heading east then west, you have the opportunity to settle into your pace surrounded by beautiful homes and fantastic waterfront scenery. Every mile will be a celebration as you’re energized by the sounds of Live Music, Cheer Zones and Street Performers lifting you up no matter the distance of your event. This isn’t just a race; it’s a running party thats welcoming everyone back to the Finish Line in Roosevelt Mall, which officially becomes, “Mardi Gras Mall” for this one day of personal celebration!
