THE BROOKS BLOG

Brooks heads to the Big Easy in 2009 as the official footwear and apparel sponsor of the New Orleans Mardi Gras Marathon. The 45th annual race takes place on February 1. Both marathon and half marathon runners will dash through the historic French Quarter, famous Bourbon Street and St. Charles Avenue, and the beautiful Garden District. Marathoners continue along picturesque Bayou St. John and loop through City Park. So if you are heading to the city with southern charm to run down Bourbon St., be sure to flash us your Brooks!
