The Ole Man River Half Marathon course as well as the 5K are open to runners and walkers, and both start and finish in downtown Gretna, across the river from New Orleans. From there, the half marathon follows an out-and-back route that first runs southwest toward Harvey and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and then runs back along the banks of the Mississippi, where you’ll finish the race running along the river levee.
