If you’ve ever wondered why so many people are dressed in red dresses in New Orleans on the second Saturday in August, look no further than Red Dress Run.
A charity “run” in New Orleans, Red Dress Run is hosted by the New Orleans Hash House Harriers. This local drinking club hosts the world’s most unique running event. All locals and visitors attend this annual event dressed in red attire-specifically, dresses.
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.
Come out and enjoy an Abita Beer in your red dress!
