it’s official! The Rock ‘N’ Roll New Orleans marathon and half marathon will have a fun new addition in 2015: the 10k distance! Not quite ready to tackle the half? You can still participate in the race weekend with the all new 10k.
Here is a picture of the race course:

Also in other news, the marathon course will be undergoing some changes from last year as well. Here is the new course map:
If you are familiar with the area, you may find the below turn by turn changes beneficial!
- Turn left onto Carrolton, out-back to Canal (access lanes on the outside of Carrolton)
- Marconi one way to Robert E. Lee (allowing southbound travel on Marconi)
- East on Robert E. Lee (in eastbound lanes, leaving westbound lanes open for travel) to St. Bernard (St. Bernard will be used out-and back to Lakeshore Dr.)
- Out and back on Lakeshore Drive to get necessary distance (past UNO/Elysian Fields, similar to the turnaround location last year)
- From St. Bernard, we will return to City Park on the east side of the park using Wisner to Harrison Dr.
- West into the Park on Harrison Dr. to the round-a-bout and south on Diagonal Dr. (whole road once inside the park)
- From Diagonal, left on Magnolia by the Bark Park and Left on Zachary Taylor Dr. to Golf Dr.
- South where Golf Dr. turns into Henry Thomas Dr. and around to Roosevelt Mall and the Finish.
As you can see, lots of exciting stuff happening as we get closer to the main event. I am so excited for the 10k addition, it means more of my running friends will be joining in! The 10k is a great middle distance if you know you can run a 5k but aren’t ready for a half marathon. You can do it! Go sign up!
QOTD: Do you like the 10k distance?

So nice of you to make this annoucement. Although I wouldn’t be around to run it, I’m sure many people will be very happy and intrigued to know this information!
Have a terrific Tuesday!!
I love 10Ks! However, I feel like I couldn’t justify traveling for just a 10K. I have to reserve my trips for halfs or marathons I think.
I like 10k’s. I just completed my first a few weeks ago. I find it to be a challenging race without making you too sore the next day! I’ve been wanting to complete a Rock n’ Roll race as well, as I’ve heard they’re pretty awesome races!
They put on great races!
I love 10Ks. I feel like 5Ks are so short and sometimes I just don’t feel like running 13.1 miles. Then again, I think I like them because my go to training run in my neighborhood is 6.2…
NOLA RnR sounds like a blast! I visited the area in 2012 for Mardi Gras but I just happened to be in the area for tech training. It’s a shame I live in the NE because I would totally try this one out.
it’s a really fun race!
This race sounds like fun! 🙂 Glad they added this option!
me, too!
