Not a lot of social media presence or communication with participants

Easily transported to start line from Superdome in nice buses

Exciting finish in Champions Square
Cowboy Mouth performed (depends if that's your thing or not)
Plenty of food
Nice area to socialize with other runners
Would recommend for a training run, etc only if you can get it at a super duper price
