About the New Orleans 5K

The New Orleans 5K delivers French-Creole spirit with Southern decadence in a more accessible format. Runners navigate through the distinctive French Quarter and Garden District with their unique architectural heritage. March's pleasant spring creates ideal racing conditions as participants experience both Bourbon Street energy and stately mansions along St. Charles Avenue. The flat course offers excellent PB potential while showcasing New Orleans' remarkable cultural gumbo of influences. Louisiana spectators create an atmosphere of celebratory support as participants flow through streets representing America's most distinctive culinary and musical tradition. This vibrant race captures New Orleans' distinctive character—architecturally French yet spiritually Caribbean—offering a quintessential Gulf Coast running experience unlike anywhere else in America without requiring marathon-level endurance.
