The Crescent City Classic is New Orleans’ (and the region’s) premier 10k road race, and one of the oldest 10k races in the nation.

This Easter Weekend Tradition is now, along with Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest, one of New Orleans signature events.

Each year, over 20,000 people gather in Downtown New Orleans for an event that attracts everyone from international Elite Athletes to those who walk the entire route carrying cocktails or wearing bunny suits. Young, old, fit and not so, the Crescent City Classic was the first 10k to be televised nationally, and is the most fun you can have over 6.2 miles.

The Classic race series includes four other races along with the 10k:

• Crescent Connection Bridge Run
• Corporate Classic 
• Christmas in Lafreniere Park Run/Walk
• St. Patrick's Day Classic
