ABOUT:

Crescent City Classic 2024

The annual Crescent City Classic is not only a great physical challenge but a fun, local tradition as well. Held on the Saturday before Easter, amateur and professional runners alike unite for New Orleans’ signature 10k race. Some dress in Easter-themed costumes while others come decked out in full workout attire, but all have a good time for a good cause.  

The 2024 Crescent City Classic takes place Saturday, March 30.

The Route

On Saturday, March 30 at 8 a.m., join the scenic race throughout the city from Champions Square, past the elegant homes of Esplanade Avenue, and on to the ancient moss-draped oaks of New Orleans City Park.

You can register for the race online here

Post-Race Festival

At the end of the route awaits a celebration called the Michelob Ultra RaceFest at New Orleans City Park Festival Grounds! This party is held from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and features local music, Creole food, and libations. It is open to runners’ families and friends for a cover charge, and children 10 and under enter for free!

Fest passes can be purchased when you register for the race either online or on race day.

Easter Weekend

From the expo, to the race itself, to the post-race festivities, there will be no shortage of things to do revolving around the Crescent City Classic. Since the race is the Saturday before Easter Sunday, it’s the perfect weekend to participate in the Classic, and then take part in other activities throughout the weekend, such as Easter brunches or Easter parades.
