NOTC

Spring Training Clinic

For

Crescent City Classic

The NOTC presents a $30 ($25 NOTC Members) 10K & 5K clinic for runners and walkers of all ages, abilities, and experience levels. The sessions will be conducted by NOTC board members, RRCA-certified coaches and runners and walkers from our community. The training program will run for 10 weeks, starting Saturday, January 24, 2026, and concluding the week of the Crescent City Classic on Saturday, April 4, 2026.

Join us for this clinic which will prepare you for the CCC while enjoying the social aspects. All registered participants will receive a (1) free entry into 2026 Park 2 Park 10K/5K on Saturday March 14. The first session will be held Saturday, January 24, 2026, 8 AM, at the Bucktown Pavillion. Located inside the Bucktown Marina that is just over the levee off Metairie - Hammond Hwy.

Meeting Locations:

Spring training clinics will be held twice per week on Wednesday and Saturday. We will meet Wednesday evenings at 6:00 p.m. at LaSalle Park and on Saturday mornings at 8:00 a.m. at Bucktown Pavilion. Training locations will be announced at the first meeting. Training locations may vary due to seasonal events or other location considerations. A training plan will be provided to all participants, which will require other trainings separate from the two weekly group trainings.

The NOTC Spring Running and Walking Clinic is open to all runners and walkers, NOTC members and nonmembers alike. This clinic is designed to keep people active and engaged in events that promote fitness and social enjoyment.

    Since 2013, The Great Huey P. Long Bridge Run has celebrated the majestic views provided by a historic bridge. The Huey P. Long Bridge was established in 1935 and revised in 2013 with a well-received widening project.

    Each year, the bridge is closed to vehicle traffic on a Saturday morning allowing runners to enjoy a professional and safe race experience while they #GeauxOverIt. It's a challenge worth celebrating as runners enjoy live music, great Louisiana food and cold Abita beer after crossing the finish line.

    Forget age groups—this race is all about bringing your own gravity.

    The Fatboy 5K is a fun-first, judgment-free 5K happening May 17, 2026 at Lafreniere Park, where runners compete in weight classes instead of age brackets. Whether you’re fast, steady, or just here for the vibes, this race celebrates effort, humor, and showing up as you are.

    After you cross the finish line, the real battle begins with our legendary Donut Eating Contest, 26.2 Foot Marathon and conquer the 0.0 Mile World Championship. —because balance is important, and carbs are undefeated. Expect big laughs, loud cheers, and a community that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

    Come race hard, jog happy, or waddle proudly.

    The Fatboy 5K is proof that fitness can be fun—and donuts can be part of the plan. 🍩💪
