Hear From Our Participants

I have ran this race for the last 10 years! I love it!

I liked ending on the 50-yard line! I liked the loose wave start. I like the out and back route of the race course. I like the post-race festivities.

It’s a fun race, getting to hang out on the field and experience the Superdome and Champions Square before the season starts!

The community of New Orleans support throughout the streets during the 5k.

I love how excited my 7 year old son was to earn a medal when he crossed the finish line!

I always look forward to this event, getting to be on the field, the excitement of a new season, great music and great people!
