Northshore Half Marathon

Held each October under the moss-covered oaks of Fontainebleau State Park, the Northshore Half Marathon offers a uniquely Southern experience—fast, flat courses paired with live music, cold beer, and lakeside recovery. Now in its 18th year, the event includes a half marathon, 10 miler, and 5K, drawing thousands from across the Gulf South.

With proximity to both New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Northshore is a magnet for runners chasing PRs and brands looking to engage a loyal, active, and regionally concentrated audience. The Abita Post-Race Party is as iconic as the finish line—complete with local food vendors, giveaways, and social-driven brand moments.

Sponsors benefit from year-round exposure through SWAG, RaceJoy GPS tracking, email campaigns (77% open rate), race-day signage, and a robust influencer program via FRESHJUNKIE Racing. It’s more than a race—it’s a lifestyle touchpoint.
