Crescent City Classic 10k

Crescent City Classic 10k is run in New Orleans, Louisiana, on March 27, 2027, with one distance on the schedule: a 10K starting at 8:00 AM. The route passes through the French Quarter with local music along the way, and the event is open to runners, walkers and wheelchair athletes across every level of ability.

Race weekend comes with a health and fitness expo beforehand and a post-race party with live music and regional food, so budget time for more than the race itself. The 10K distance suits that kind of weekend: 6.2 miles is short enough to enjoy the city afterwards and long enough to be worth training for, with six to eight weeks of steady running and one weekly session at threshold pace. The event's Run for It program raises money for local charities, which gives fundraising participants a reason to be there beyond the finishing time.
