Rivershack River Run/Walk Series

The Rivershack River Run/Walk Series features two races in the New Orleans area, both centered at RiverShack establishments. The Eastbank race begins at RiverShack Tavern on River Road, while the Westbank race starts at RiverShack Gretna, located on the Levee Jogging Path. Both primary races cover 2 miles and are chip-timed; runners must wear their bibs facing forward for accurate timing. The Westbank race is a 2-mile course along the levee, concluding with food, drinks, and hospitality at RiverShack Gretna. The Eastbank event includes live music by Tank & Bill. Participants can register for a single race to receive a custom event shirt, or enter the full series for a shirt and a finisher medal. Additionally, each location hosts a 21-and-over Beer Mile: participants drink a 12 oz beer, run a quarter mile, and repeat four times, with a penalty lap for vomiting. Costumes are welcome, and proceeds from the Beer Mile benefit Ainsley’s Angels of Greater New Orleans.
