On Saturday, September 26, Tipitina’s Foundation will host the 4th annual Rhythm & Blues 5K in partnership with the New Orleans Track Club.
This 5K road race is open to participants of all running and walking skill levels. The event begins at 5:00 PM, starting and finishing in front of the historic Tipitina’s Uptown, at the corner of Napoleon Avenue and Tchoupitoulas Street. Proceeds benefit Tipitina’s Foundation and our efforts to protect and preserve Louisiana’s unique musical culture.
The evening will include performances by a number of New Orleans area school marching bands along the race route and a post-run festival with food, drinks and live entertainment on the neutral ground outside of the Tipitina’s venue. Participants are encouraged to costume as their favorite musicians or band members on race day for a chance to win a prize.
Tipitina’s Foundation Rhythm & Blues 5K is sponsored by Whitney Bank, Iconic Protein, New Belgium , and The New Orleans Advocate.
