North Oaks & Middendorf's Manchac Run

This autumn road race offers three distances: 5K, 10K, and 10 miles, suitable for both casual runners and those seeking a longer challenge. The race, a collaboration between North Oaks and Middendorf's, revives a local running event with strong ties to the restaurant.

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.

About 10K races in New Orleans-Metairie

New Orleans-Metairie Base Miles

New Orleans-Metairie 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.

New Orleans runners keep it simple with parks, river edges, and city loops. The Audubon Park loop runs 29 km with +25 m when marathon legs need time on feet. The Lakefront Trail runs 93 km with +5 m. The Crescent City Classic runs 82 km with +38 m for a clean long run. Local race calendars point toward the New Orleans Marathon, Shamrockin Run New Orleans, Corporate Classic 5K, and the Rivershack River Run/Walk Series.

Metairie riders have 178 cycle routes and 2,161 km tracked, so weekday spins never feel short on options. New Orleans Bicycle Club keeps the scene moving with Weekday Morning Levee Rides at 6:00 am on Tuesdays and Thursdays, WeMoRi at 5:45 am on Wednesdays, and Giro Ride at 7:00 am on weekends. The club also runs rides on Bullard Ave. Climbs stay tiny here, so locals chase wind, pacelines, intervals, and sprints at the end of Hayne.

March and April sit right in the sweet spot for both sports. Most people get on their bikes to ride here in the months of March and April, and runners get the same window for clean Z2 work before summer changes the feel. Summer Series keeps runners on off-road grass paths at Lafreniere Park, City Park, and Kenner City Park, and locals stay hydrated in the Summer Heat. Winter specifics stay thin in the brief, so locals keep using Audubon Park, City Park, Lakeshore Drive, the Lake Trail, and the Mississippi River Trail for steady base miles.
