Come to NOLA this August and join the Hash Hous Harrier (a so-called “drinking club with a running problem”) for their annual Red Dress Run – a breast-cancer research fundraiser. The event combines fun and fudraising all in one, for a few sweet hours this August 11, 2012. The 4 mile run starts at the main gates of the Louis Armstrong Park in the French Quarter and the guns go off at 11 am sharp. The park though, opens its doors at 9:30 am letting the red-dress-wearing runnners start preparing. The park will host live music throughout the day, making everything including the run, something of a wild midday party. Beer and food by Corkey’s BBQ are provided, and with everyone wearing “a dress or less” you’re guaranteed to come away with unforgettable stories for the children.
Tickets range from $55-$70 (cash only the day of), and guys and gals alike are invited to join the fun. For those who don’t have Red Dresses hanging in the closet, do not be weary! The Hash House ‘Hares’ will be happy to give you one just your size.
And while you enjoy the run and the drinking,don’t forget that New Orleans Airport Trip has got your back. We’d be happy to take you from the aiport or your hotel and drop you off at the festivities, as well a pick you up at the end to ensure you a safe and relaxing trip home. Give us a call to reserve your ride today, and we’ll see you then!
