New Orleans Marathon

The New Orleans Marathon invites you to experience the city through a scenic 26.2-mile course winding through its vibrant streets. Whether running solo or joining a team for the marathon relay, you’ll find a well-organized event that suits various paces and styles. Relay teams of two to five share the distance by passing a wristband at exchange zones, making it a great way to enjoy the race with friends or new acquaintances. Each finisher earns a medal and post-race treats, adding a rewarding finish to your effort. Beyond the race, the marathon is part of Fit Fête New Orleans, a weekend filled with health-focused activities and community games. This broader celebration offers a chance to connect with others who appreciate wellness and sport, whether competing or cheering from the sidelines. The event’s professional timing and welcoming spirit make it accessible for runners of all levels, while the city’s unique character provides a memorable backdrop to your race day.
