About the SAINTS KICKOFF RUN
The course starts and finishes inside Caesars Superdome, with the finish line on the actual field. You run out of Champions Square, loop through the surrounding streets, and come back in through the stadium. A post-race party with live music and a beer garden sets up in Champions Square after the race wraps.
Packet pickup runs on the two evenings before the race at Champions Square on Lasalle Street. Race-morning pickup is available but the organizers discourage it, citing the crowds. Bring a photo ID; you can grab a friend's bib if you have a copy of theirs.
