What is Red Dress Run?

This event involves a two-mile run beginning at Crescent Park in the Bywater. Locals and visitors will be served lunch at 11:30 a.m., along with live music. All participants must be 21 or older.You don’t have to be a member of the New Orleans Hash House Harriers to participate, but registration is highly encouraged, as 100% of the proceeds go to local charities.
