Red Dress Run 2026: The Morning Run

New Orleans, Louisiana

The day began in a sea of red as runners gathered, posed, laughed and moved through the heart of New Orleans. This gallery follows the actual Red Dress Run—from the anticipation before the start to the color, motion and joyful chaos of the route—capturing the community spirit at the center of one of the city’s most recognizable summer traditions.
