Saturday, October 26, 2019 • New Orleans, LA • Course Map
2019 marks the 11th annual running of the New Orleans Jazz Half Marathon & 5K, both of which take runners on a fast, flat course through the paved streets of one of the most interesting cities anywhere in America, known around the world for its architectural, cultural and natural beauty.
Begun as a benefit for the Children’s Hospital of New Orleans, the race will start downtown at the city’s Lafayette Square, and follow an out-and-back course that loops through uptown New Orleans as well as the city’s historic Garden District and its beautiful, spacious green Audubon Park, which is also home to its zoo, aquarium and insect exhibit known as the “Insectarium.”
And because the course winds through this city, much of which lies at or below sea level, the race is very flat with little uphills or downhills to speak of.
Once runners make their way through the city, they’ll finish the race back at Lafayette Square downtown, where a post-race party and musicfest will be underway.
All runners must be able to complete its 13.1 miles within four hours, which means they’ll need to keep roughly an 18-minute-per-mile pace or better.
