Pacers Pub Run - The Backyard Bash is a running race on September 16, 2026 in New Orleans, LA.
From the Organizer
We are so excited to invite you to join the Pontchartrain Pacers, Fleet Feet Metairie, and The Backyard for our first-ever Pub Run! This fun-filled evening is the perfect way to stay active, connected, and motivated together in the heat. After 2 x 1-mile loops of the New Basin Canal Park (running is definitely not required!), come cool off with us at The Backyard and enjoy a wonderful Buy One Get One Free Skater Aide from Gnarly Barley. We'll kick things off at 7 p.m., meeting at The Backyard located at 244 W Harrison Ave, New Orleans, LA, 70124.
Why run with the Pacers?
We are a passionate charity fundraising team dedicated to supporting St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. We are so grateful that every single dollar from your sign-up goes directly to St. Jude to help fund lifesaving research and cover treatment costs for amazing children. Plus, for every $5 donated, you'll get a spin on the St. Jude Prize Wheel! Check Out Our Fundraising Page
There's truly no backyard like The Backyard!
It’s the ultimate spot where great food and good times come together. We can't wait for you to take advantage of the BOGO Skater Aide and perhaps treat yourself to some delicious brisket as the perfect post-run recovery meal. Feel free to come early and stay late to enjoy their comfortable & friendly atmosphere.
We can't wait to see you there!
