The Crescent City Bridge Run
What better way to celebrate the start of summer than with a great evening run across the iconic Crescent City Connection! At four miles and rising to a height of more than three-hundred feet over the river, the Crescent Connection Bridge Run gives participants a breathtaking view of the city's skyline at sunset.
Join us to run or walk the most unique course in the South. Participants start on New Orleans' "West Bank" and cross the Mississippi River via the Crescent City Connection Bridge. Ending along the river in the Warehouse District on the "East Bank", the Bridge Run is a favorite among both serious runners, young professionals, and partiers alike! Experience the skyline and enjoy an evening at a post-race party only the folks from the Crescent City Classic can throw!.
