Half Marathon versenyek River Ridge közelében

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.
