Red dresses are on the run

Men and women will run the streets of New Orleans red for the annual Red Dress Run on August 8.

Hosted by the Hash House Harriers, participants will don a red dress to raise funds to be donated to more than a dozen New Orleans charities and organizations. The proceeds from the event will grant multiple organizations up to $5,000. For those who would rather wear pants that day or cannot attend the event can still make a donation online.

The event officially begins at 12:30 p.m. in Louis Armstrong Park and carries on throughout the French Quarter. Pre-registration for each runner can be done online by July 31 for $60, by August 7 for $70 or on the day of the event for $80 (cash only). Because the event includes a catered meal, music and unlimited beer participants must be 21 years of age or older to partake in the festivities.
