Course
The flat road route starts near Jefferson Street and tours Lafayette before finishing at Parc International. Numerous turns replace elevation as the main pacing interruption.
Race-day weather
Early March can be cool, warm, humid, rainy, or windy. Gulf moisture and a late temperature rise are realistic even on an otherwise fast day.
