FULL RESULTS on LAZYHound Racing Site
With the mighty Mississippi as a backdrop and live music in the air, the 2025 RiverShack Tavern Run (Eastbank edition) brought together runners, walkers, and party-goers for a sunset 2-mile race that felt more like a community celebration than a competition. Hosted at the legendary RiverShack Tavern on River Road, this year's race kicked off the summer series with perfect weather, fast legs, and ice-cold beer.
The Friday evening race started at 6:00 PM sharp, but the party had already begun by then. “Tank & Bill” provided the live soundtrack as participants warmed up and soaked in the laid-back vibes along the riverfront. The short-but-snappy 2-mile course ran along scenic River Road, offering up equal parts effort and enjoyment before funneling everyone back to the Tavern for refreshments and revelry.
Whether you were chasing a personal best or just cruising toward a cold brew, the event delivered that unmistakable New Orleans energy: part race, part block party.
