Haunted 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Slidell, LA (42)

The Haunted 5K, 10K, & 13.1M is a Halloween-themed running event in Slidell, Louisiana, starting at 8:00 AM from 105 Robert Blvd. Runners can choose a 5K, 10K, or half marathon, covering 3.1 miles, 6.2 miles, or 13.1 miles.

The listed parking area is close enough to walk to the start.

The New Orleans Ultramarathon and Half

The New Orleans Ultramarathon and Half takes runners through the city on its streets. It provides three distances: 50 miles, 50K, and a half marathon. The longer races begin early at Jackson Square, and the half marathon starts at Louisiana Running Company on Canal Street. The event is the only ultramarathon in New Orleans, making the 50-mile and 50K options the primary attraction for those seeking a long urban race instead of trail or rural running. The course functions as a tour of New Orleans, progressing from downtown streets near Jackson Square through the St. Charles Garden District, towards the Lake Pontchartrain lakefront, and returning to a finish in Mid-City. Participants will see various neighborhoods, parks, and waterways instead of running laps on a closed course. Packet pickup is at Louisiana Running Company the day before the race, where participants receive a swag bag and race armband. Those unable to attend packet pickup can check in with the race director before starting, with their swag available at the finish. An early start for the 50-mile and 50K races is possible with race director approval.

About Half Marathon races in Slidell-Mandeville-Covington, LA

Slidell-Mandeville-Covington Training Notes

Slidell-Mandeville-Covington, LA hosts 5 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals put the Tammany Trace at the center of most running weeks. The Tammany Trace runs 31 miles from Covington to Slidell, so it works for Z2 base miles, intervals, and a first solo 50k distance day. Covington, Abita Springs, Mandeville, Lacombe, and Slidell keep you close to exits without making the trail feel busy. Most runners use the 1M and Northshore Half Marathon as anchor races. Running clubs are not named in the brief, so the Trace itself is the meetup language.

Riders treat the Trace like the spine of the Northshore. Brooks' Bicycle Co-op in Mandeville rents bikes to visiting cyclists before they head toward Lacombe, Abita Springs, Covington, or Slidell. The Tammany Trace stays generally flat and comfortable to ride, so locals stack base miles, recovery spins, and steady gran fondo prep there. Riders hit a 2 miles of gravel from Blue Marlin Dr to Louand Dr when they want a little cyclocross flavor. The climbs are not really the point here, because the sourced terrain is flat.

Cooler days are the best training window in this brief, because summer changes the whole plan. Summer temperatures can reach the mid-90s with 50-75% humidity, and the feels-like temperature can end up around 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Locals start early, carry more hydration, and treat shade like gear on long runs or rides. The Tammany Trace helps because it is shaded by the trees that line it on both sides. Winter has no sourced weather pattern in the brief, so runners and cyclists still plan around the same flat paved trail and the same gravel that gets wet and muddy in spring.
