The 38thTchoupitoulas Social Aid & Athletic Club* Bar-a-thonFriday, May 17, 2019
new for 2019?
Smaller field.
And music. For those of you who used to do the little Catch 22 2-milers with the post-races at LBTR, you know how good it can get when we go after good bands. That's probably the only meaningful focus shift for 2019. Any requests? This year Sisqo was busy (no shit, he was really playing DURING the Barathon at HOB New Orleans). We had tickets we forgot to give out during the awards ceremony.
when?
Race is always 2 Fridays after Jazz Fest.
For the 38th iteration, that's Friday, May 17, 2019. 6:05PM at Le Bon Temps; rain or shine.
Registration gets you free admission to Soul Rebels concert at Le Bon Temps Roule on Thursday, tshirt, race entry, poster, beers and (if you make it to the finish line) the much ballyhooed "huggy memento" of yesteryear (it's a koozie, folks) - as well as a shot at great awards, post-race oysters, and the opportunity to become part of history. And music too.
what's a bar-a-thon?
It's part of Uptown history. A footrace designed by the old Tchoupitoulas Social Aid & Athletic Club. Spanning 6 miles, visiting 6 bars, providing 6 beers. As serious as you want it to be.
1. LE BON TEMPS ROULE (4801 Magazine)2. REGINELLI'S (741 State) (once upon a time the Hofbrau House)3. TJ QUILL'S (7600 Maple) 4. PATOIS RESTAURANT (6078 Laurel) (formerly Norby's/Nardo's)5. DOS JEFES UPTOWN CIGAR BAR (5535 Tchoupitoulas)6. GRIT'S BAR (530 Lyons)
Rules are few; visit the bars in this order. Each of them. Even Quill's, where your bib (might) be uniquely marked so our koozie enforcers at the finish line can give you your official FINISHER'S KOOZIE. We will be at the finish line with koozies for 2 hours 15 minutes, or until about 8:20PM. One pull tag, one koozie.
Awards are for everyone, not just the fast people. Show up in the back bar with a good attitude and you're likely to you might take away something cool. This is a real source of growing pains...who gets these awards. We found a pretty happy medium in 2018 and will seek to make it just as equitable for 2019.
PURPLE MONKEY DESIGNS tshirts. Each year the shirts are created from snippets found in 1980s Bar-A-Thon flyers; for 2018
