Northshore Half Marathon

Race Overview

The Northshore Half Marathon, 10 miler, and Jockamo 5K feature idyllic Louisiana scenery. All courses start and finish under mammoth, moss-covered oaks. The half marathon and 10 miler wind through spectator-lined historic homes of Old Mandeville, run along sparkling Lakeshore Drive and the Tammany Trace as the sun rises over the crowd of runners.
