2026 Tchoupitoulas Social Aid & Athletic Club Bar-A-Thon

When & Where

• Friday, May 15, 2026 • 6:05 PM
• Le Bon Temps Roule, rain or zombie apocalypse

The Whole Thing in One Breath
Way more than 5 miles ➡️ 6 bars ➡️ 6 beers ➡️ 1 koozie ➡️ eternal Uptown street cred (shown below...cred has been known to extend to other neighborhoods). Run fast, walk slow, or crawl—all we ask is you hit the bars in order and cross the line before 8:15 PM, when we start the awards ceremony.

Swag & Bribes

• 🔮 Purple Monkey tee-shirt: 80s nostalgia meets “what does that even mean?”
• Poster for your bathroom wall
• 6 on-course beers (or water, if joy isn't your thing)
• “Huggy Memento” koozie—for collecting, not cuddling
• custom-made Tchoup Barathon awards at the back-bar ceremony: attitude > speed
• 15 % off Le Bon Temps’ shiny newish menu (Thu–Fri)
• Pie-in-the-sky - we've reached out to a band (who has played on the Fest stage at JF) for our sole use - but it's going to require you all to tighten up and register early

Rules (Because Apparently We Need Them)

1. Bars in order—this ain’t choose-your-own-adventure.
2. Beer is canon; cocktail divas, BYO tiny umbrella.
3. Day-of registration? LOL, no. Beg creatively at [email protected]. Registration will cut off April 1, 2026.
4. Bib pick-up for friends is cool—unless you’re under 21, look shady, rock Tevas, are named "Shane" or "Troy," or have one of those hats with the built-in weird hair joke.

FAQ

• “Beer mambo”?? Ask race founder Ron Brinkman; we’re busy and the RD was 7 when these Boomers were mambo'ing!
• Why #43? Two races in ’83, none in 2020-21. Math, baby.
• Stop calling Le Bon Temps. They sell drinks, not answers. Email or dial us: 📧 [email protected] | ☎️ 504-812-6388

Now lace up, bottoms up, and don’t embarrass yourself more than usual.
