Register for the 5K!
Join us for the inaugural Run for the River 5K, a powerful community race along the historic levees of the Lower Ninth Ward. Together, we’re running to protect our neighborhoods and our future from the Army Corps of Engineers' destructive lock replacement project.
Your participation will directly support efforts to stop a project that threatens the safety, culture, and environment of New Orleans. Lace up your shoes, bring your friends and family, and run (or walk!) for a cause that matters.
THE DETAILS
Join us for a 5k run on the beautiful earthen levee ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI River in the lower ninth ward.
Protected 5k Route along an earthen levee down toward Arabi and St. Bernard Parish.
Water and portapotties will be available.
Help us stop the Army Corps of Engineers from putting the entire city at risk for a 13 year, $1.5 billion potentially catastrophic boondoggle.
