If you are looking for something amazing to do next weekend, check out the Red Dress Run in New Orleans. It’s a completely unique event that will absolutely make your weekend spectacular. It’s hosted by the Hash House Harriers, as they like to say, a “drinking club with a running problem”.
It takes place every 2nd Saturday in August, and is truly a whirlwind each and every year.
Of course in New Orleans, they do things a little differently. The Red Dress run hosted here is by far the largest in the United States, and has raised over one million dollars over the years to donate to local charities.
