Race Information
Join the annual Northshore Half Marathon & 10 Miler which features the idyllic Louisiana scenery. Both courses start and finish under mammoth, moss-covered oaks, wind through spectator-lined historic homes of Old Mandeville, and run along sparkling Lakeshore Drive and the Tammany Trace as the sun rises over the crowd of runners and the beautiful Fontainebleau State Park.
The course is notoriously flat and fast, with many runners claiming this race as their favorite half marathon and as a PR race course.
Historic Old Mandeville and Fountainbleau State Park are just a quick drive from New Orleans or Baton Rouge, making them close enough in proximity to drive in the morning of the race and to enjoy either city following the race…but not before enjoying the post-race party.
