Get Ready To Run New Orleans. Your Total Weekend Plan
Saying I did it
is the reason I start with healthy.
What’s your reason for starting with healthy? Once you know it, nothing can stop you. Not even a race that’s 26.2 miles long. Congratulations to this year’s amazing group of Rock 'n' Roll Marathon runners.

WELCOME TO ROCK 'N' ROLL

elcome to New Orleans! At the beginning of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series in 1998, we set out to create the next great race in the world. By pure luck, we created a themed event, and by pure luck, the face of the sport has changed. The sport of running has never been more inclusive of everybody’s aspirations as it is today. In 2020, we’re stepping up our game to deliver a best-in-class race experience for runners around the world. Whether you’re a loyal fan, new to the family or looking for reasons to convince your friends to join you… trust us, you won’t want to miss running with us in 2020.

hether you are running to lose weight, change your life, set a personal best, or raise massive amounts for charity, everyone is welcome on our roads. Thank you for being a part of the 10th running of this incredible event. Thank you to the City of New Orleans, and all of its residents for the continued support, embracing road closures and waking up early to cheer on our runners. This is a race planned and produced by many hard working individuals who take great pride in every element of the participant experience. We hope you have the time of your life running through these cities and that you continue to make it a tradition with us for many years to come!
