About the Kenner's Ole Man River Half Marathon
The course follows the Mississippi River through Kenner's Rivertown district, a stretch of historic storefronts and heritage buildings close to the water. The route is flat throughout, which makes it a reasonable choice for a personal effort on a course that has some genuine scenery to look at rather than just pavement.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a running store in New Orleans, with refreshments on hand. On race day, parking is available in two nearby lots, one off Huey P Long Avenue and another in a garage on Derbigny Street. The finish brings a post-race block party with live music, beer, and food.

The Kenner's Ole Man River Half Marathon has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
