New Orleans Red Dress Run 2016

Girls AND boys, grab your best red dress, because another colorful fun-filled event is headed to New Orleans this weekend! Taking place Saturday, August 13, 2016, the annual Red Dress Run is both an exciting New Orleans event as well as a fundraiser for local charities, bringing in over a million dollars in the past few years!

The Red Dress Run itself is a two mile run/walk (whatever your preference!) through the French Quarter, beginning at Armstrong Park. You won’t want to miss it!

Registration includes beer, food, live music, and a few fabulous giveaways. You can register the day of the event, but it is cash only. Attendees all enjoy wearing their favorite version of the little red dress, and many pick one up at local New Orleans thrift shops beforehand.
