Get ready to lace up your shoes and let the good times roll as the New Orleans Marathon returns to the streets of the Big Easy after a seven year hiatus. We're thrilled to invite you to the inaugural New Orleans Marathon, Half Marathon, 5K and Marathon Relay—your chance to conquer your next running challenge in the most vibrant city in America. From the start at the New Orleans Museum of Art to the finish line in Roosevelt Mall, every step tells a story of resilience, pride, and endless possibility. Once your race is completed, our fun doesn't stop at the finish line! Your victory celebration begins at the New Orleans Marathon Official Post Race Party on the floor of Tad Gormley Stadium. Stay and party with friends and family to some of the best music and food on the planet. When our party ends, the after party begins in the New Orleans French Quarter, where time has stood still for over 300 years in our pot of Gumbo called "The Big Easy"!
