Packet Pickup

All entrants must pick up their packets prior to race day. Your packet will contain race instructions, your race bib, timing chip, T-shirt, and assorted goodies. Bring a photo ID with you to facilitate the pickup process.

We are offering several locations for packet pickup this year. If you are in the New Orleans area or will be arriving before Friday evening come to our main location at Southern Runner, uptown on Magazine St. If you live in the region but are not coming in until the eve or morning of the race we are offering packet pickup at a number of satellite locations. And, finally, for those participants who are staying in one of our host hotels, we are repeating our innovative "concierge service." Your packet will be waiting for you at the hotel registration desk when you check in.

Please note that there will be NO race-day packet pickup. If you are unable to pick up your packet yourself see below for proxy packet pickup arrangements.
