DO YOU LIMIT THE NUMBER OF RUNNERS IN THE RACE?
The 5K is capped at 1,530 participants.

WILL YOU HAVE PACERS?
There are no pacers for the 5K.  We will assign runners to corrals based on their anticipated finish times.  Assignments will be included in your race confirmation email that you will receive the week of the race.  Corrals with pace signs will be marked in the start chute.  Please report to your assigned corral area.  The faster runners will be in the front, the slower runners will be in the back.

CAN I HAVE CELL PHONES, FRIENDS, STROLLERS, DOGS ON THE COURSE?
We encourage you to invite friends and family to cheer you on along the course, but they are only allowed to run with you if they are registered runners. Per USA Track & Field rules, elements that could impede the safety of runners, such as bikes, skates, skateboards, strollers and pets on the course, are not allowed. The safety of our runners is our number one priority. By signing or clicking ’I Accept’ on any Huey P. Long Bridge Run registration race waiver, you are agreeing to abide by the Rules of Competition.

CAN I WEAR HEADPHONES?
Participants will be able to use listening devices during the running of the 5K, but they do so at their own risk. Runner safety is, and will continue to be, the priority for all of our events. To ensure a safe and enjoyable race for everyone, we ask that you please be mindful of the other participants and race personnel.

You MUST be aware of your surroundings at all times and this includes being able to hear any verbal warnings/instructions from police/course officials or the sound of any vehicles and other participants on the course. The abuse of portable headphone devices can result in disqualification. Abuse refers to being so distracted that you become a hazard to yourself, your fellow participants, spectators, course marshals, finish line officials, medical personnel, other race officials, police personnel or vehicle traffic.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. We must constantly consider the safety of all our participants, volunteers and spectators and review this rule as well as others in order to ensure the continued safety of our participants.

WHAT IF I LOSE SOMETHING THE DAY OF THE RACE?
Lost & Found is located near the awards area.  After the event, please contact info@hueyprun.com to see if items were turned in.  Clothing items left in the start areas and along the course are immediately donated to charity and are not kept in Lost & Found.

IS THERE A PLACE TO DROP BAGS AT THE START LINE?
No. Due to parking being convenient to shuttle loading and the post-race party, gear check is not provided.

WHERE SHOULD I PARK ON RACE DAY?

There is lots of free parking available in the Elmwood Shopping Center and surrounding areas near Packet Pickup. As always, please only park in legal parking spots and never on the grass.

WHERE DOES THE RACE START AND FINISH?

The race will start on the West side of the Mississippi River and will finish in front of the Ochsner Fitness Center on the East side of the Mississippi River.  Shuttle buses will run BEFORE the start of the race so all runners should plan to park near the Ochsner Fitness Center and ride a shuttle to the start line.

WILL THERE BE CORRALS?

We will assign runners to corrals based on their anticipated finish times.  Assignments will be included in your race confirmation email that you will receive the week of the race.  Corrals with pace signs will be marked in the start chute.  Please report to your assigned corral area.  The faster runners will be in the front, the slower runners will be in the back.

WHERE CAN I MEET MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AFTER THE RACE?
The easiest way to find your family and friends after the race is to have a plan beforehand.  Picking an area near the post-race area or in the parking lot by your vehicle are good options.
