Run for a purpose. Walk for change.
Bring the kids.
Help build a more literate community — one step at a time.
The YMCA of Greater New Orleans and the Crescent City Classic are teaming up to produce the 45th Annual Corporate Classic 5K. The 3.1-mile race event will be held on Saturday, November 8, 2025 at 8:00AM in City Park.
From kids to companies, this race is open to everyone! Run as an individual or bring a whole group. Runners, walkers, and strollers are all welcome to participate in this lively community event.
A post-race celebration features live music, complimentary food, beer and other beverages. You can even meet and take a picture with Saints mascot, Gumbo!
FREE child watch is available at Kids Corner for children 11 years and under.
Staff from the YMCA will keep them entertained with bounce houses, entertaining activities and snacks! Pre-registration is required and spaces are limited!
Proceeds benefit the YMCA Education Services Adult Literacy Program.
Did you know that one in four working-age adults in the metro area struggles with basic reading, writing, or math skills. That means thousands of our neighbors face barriers to employment, education, and even everyday tasks like reading a prescription label or filling out a job application. Imagine not having the ability to read a story to your children.
When you participate in the Corporate Classic 5K, you help the YMCA offer life-changing educational programs that help adults in our community learn basic reading, writing and math skills, prepare for their high school equivalency test, or develop essential employment and digital literacy skills.
