The New Orleans Ultramarathon

The New Orleans Ultramarathon and Half Marathon, held in New Orleans, Louisiana, offers three race distances: a 50-mile ultramarathon, a 50K ultramarathon, and a half marathon. The courses are entirely on pavement, featuring roads, running paths, and parks, with well-marked routes starting at Jackson Square for the ultras and Louisiana Running Company for the half marathon. Aid stations stocked with food and drinks appear every five miles.

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.
