The New Orleans Ultramarathon

The New Orleans Ultramarathon and Half Marathon, held in New Orleans, Louisiana, offers three race distances: a 50-mile, 50K, and a half marathon. The ultra races start at Jackson Square, while the half marathon begins at Louisiana Running Company. The fully paved course winds through city roads, running paths, and parks, marked clearly with spray-painted arrows and supported by aid stations every five miles stocked with nutrition and drinks.

The event finishes at Second Line Brewing, where a lively post-race party takes place. Unique local artist-designed awards and swag, including medals, shirts, and hats, are provided. Pacers are allowed, and prize money is offered for new course records. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
