About the Big Easy Halloween Half Marathon, 10K & 5K
The course runs along the New Orleans Lakefront on a fully closed road, which means no traffic and a flat route with open water views the whole way. The post-race party is held at the same spot where you picked up your bib, a seafood restaurant right on the lake, with live music and food waiting when you finish.
Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at the race venue, and there is also an early-morning window on race day itself. The start area is at the same restaurant, so everything is in one place and easy to find.
