THE COURSE
The course was generally flat and not steep as it looped back. There were crowds outside waving and cheering on the runners.

3 REASONS TO RUN

1. Kicks start your day for the Mardi gras Parade
2. You have an excuse to enjoy the King and Queen cakes without guilt.
3. If you have time there is a nice concert that goes on thereafter

RACE EXPERIENCE

Personally, I enjoyed the race and it was nice weather about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. You may need some gloves since my hands were freezing, otherwise, it was a great road race.
This was the first race that I was running out of town this year and I enjoyed myself throughout.

WHAT DID RUNNERS THINK

I generally don't have time to chat with other runners due to commitment. A couple of the runners that I chatted with said that it was a great race with nice weather.

CAUSES PROMOTED FOR THIS RACE

50 Legs
The purpose of 50 Legs is to provide amputees with the necessary care and prosthetics that they could not otherwise afford and to help them live a happier and healthier life.
