About the New Orleans Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon

The New Orleans Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon pulses with Crescent City soul and energy. Runners parade through the historic French Quarter, elegant Garden District, and along oak-lined St. Charles Avenue. February's typically mild conditions provide ideal racing weather as participants pass antebellum mansions, streetcars, and jazz clubs. The perfectly flat course offers PB potential while jazz bands, gospel choirs, and brass ensembles create a uniquely New Orleans soundtrack. Local spectators bring legendary Southern hospitality with creative costumes and enthusiastic support. This race captures the city's distinctive character—musically rich, architecturally stunning, and celebratory in spirit—creating a running experience that balances serious athletic challenge with the joyful, almost carnival-like atmosphere that makes New Orleans America's most distinctive city.
