This event includes three distances: a 50-mile ultra, a 50 km ultra, and a half marathon, giving runners options depending on their endurance level. On 18 October 2025, the 50-mile and 50 km races start early in the morning from Jackson Square, while the half marathon begins a little later at Louisiana Running Company. The route is entirely paved and urban, taking runners through historic downtown, the St Charles Garden District, out toward the Lakefront on Lake Pontchartrain, then finishing in Mid-City. There are clearly marked arrows, regular aid stations approximately every 5 miles with nutrition, water and electrolytes, plus full support along the way. After crossing the finish line at Second Line Brewing, there’s a post-race party for all participants.
