Race is always 2 Fridays after Jazz Fest. For the 40th iteration, that's Friday, May 17, 2024. 6:05PM at Le Bon Temps; rain or shine.

Registration gets you tshirt, race entry, poster (this year's will be a nod to Bar-a-Thon history), beers and (if you make it to the finish line) the much ballyhooed "huggy memento" of yesteryear (it's a koozie, folks) - as well as a shot at great award, and the opportunity to become part of history. 15% off the new food menu at Le Bon Temps Thursday and Friday.
