About the Shreveport New Years Day Half Marathon
The Shreveport New Years Day Half Marathon is run on January 1 from Walker Place Park in Bossier City, Louisiana, across the Red River from Shreveport. The course follows the river on the Arthur Ray Teague running and walking trail, and a 5K starts at the same time. Overall and age-group awards are given in five-year categories, and each distance has a virtual option. Five Star NTP, a race timing and management company, organizes the event.
