Crescent City Classic 10k

The Crescent City Classic is a 10K road race held annually in New Orleans on the Saturday before Easter Sunday. It begins downtown at the Caesars Superdome and attracts over 20,000 participants, ranging from international elite runners aiming for fast times to walkers who view the event as a moving costume party. The race has been held since 1979, when 902 people participated, and is now one of the oldest 10K races in the United States. The course crosses the French Quarter and Esplanade Avenue before concluding in New Orleans City Park. It is produced by the not-for-profit Crescent City Classic Foundation, which uses its events to promote health and fitness in the New Orleans area. The weekend also features a free two-day Health & Fitness Expo. The post-race atmosphere reflects New Orleans culture with live music, Creole cuisine, cocktails, costumes, and a party reputation significant enough that the race has been recognized as the originator of the party race.

Hammond Training Notes

Hammond hosts 6 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals keep running simple in Hammond, with Cate Square Park, Zemurray Park, North Oaks Park, and Chappapeela Sports Park handling easy miles, warmups, and meetups. Hammond Hams Running Club meets Tuesdays at 6pm at Fayard Hall, and the group runs a 2-mile route with all ages and paces. Tangi running club shows up in the endurance mix too, especially around Deviate Grand Opening Weekend. Runners hit a 39 km route with +72 m when the legs want longer work. Runners do 30 km with +8 m for flatter base miles. Gobble and Go 5k Walk/Run and Hammond Firefighters 911 Memorial Run work as anchor events.

Locals ride Hammond for steady road miles more than big climbing. The route is 1 km with 176 m ascent, so it is the long Z2 day. You can do 4 km with 42 m ascent when the schedule needs a short spin. NorthShore Cycling connects cyclists, mountain bikers, and tri-athletes in the Mandeville/Covington area. Dave's Wednesday Evening Group Ride starts at 5:30 PM at the Abita Springs Gazebo. LAMBRA Time Trial Championship gives racers a clean anchor race.

Hammond training follows the humid subtropical rhythm. Locals get the best work done in the mild stretches outside the hardest summer heat, even when the calendar does not hand you perfect weather. Summer brings hot, humid days, so runners and riders keep intervals honest, stack base miles early, and respect the sweat rate. Cate Square Park and Chappapeela Sports Park still stay useful for short loops and group starts. Winter brings generally mild to cool weather, and both sports get easier to hold steady Z2. The flat course feel stays the same, but longer runs and gran fondo prep feel less heavy.
