Why attend here

Run a flat, fast loop through the live oaks of City Park, where the autumn air is crisp and the crowds are light, then reward yourself with a bowl of gumbo or a po'boy in the French Quarter, just a short stroll from the finish.

Course

A pancake-flat double-loop entirely within City Park, starting at the New Orleans Museum of Art and finishing on Roosevelt Mall. The course rolls out to the eastern edge of Lakeshore Drive along Lake Pontchartrain and back, with only about 147 ft (45 m) of total climb and a high point of just 15 ft above sea level.
