Crescent City Classic Is Set

 

Crescent City Classic

The Crescent City Classic 10k is a New Orleans tradition, held every year. Participants run through the French Quarter, all the way to New Orleans City Park, where they cross the finish line under the cool, shady, ancient live oak trees.


LCMC Health Crescent City Classic and YMCA of Greater New Orleans officials are back for the fourth annual combo of the CCC Fall Classic and YMCA Corporate Cup called the “Corporate Classic.” The family-oriented 3.1-mile race will take place this year on Saturday, November 2, 2024, in New Orleans City Park at 8 am.


The joy of the event is the Crescent City Classic festivities make for a jam-packed weekend. The fun includes a two-day Health & Fitness Expo, free and open to the public. Many runners sign up simply to attend the post-race party hosted by Michelob Ultra, complete with live music from local bands and world-famous New Orleans cuisine!


Be sure to stick around after the family-friendly race for a wide array of complimentary food, beer and other beverages, live entertainment and an awards ceremony for the top 5k finishers.

 

“Every dollar raised provides access to learning opportunities for adults of all ages and abilities to gain the skills they need to navigate their lives, support their families, and participate more fully in the workforce and in their communities,” said Director of YMCA Educational Services Dr. Amy Leggette.
