Celebrate Father's Day with a memorable stride at the Richard Newcomb Memorial Father's Day Race in beautiful New Orleans, Louisiana, on Sunday, June 21, 2026. This cherished 2-mile event offers a fantastic opportunity for runners and walkers of all paces to enjoy the scenic flat and fast course winding through the iconic Audubon Park, shaded by magnificent oak trees. It's a truly historic race, welcoming individuals and encouraging father-child and grandfather-grandchild teams to compete for special awards, fostering a heartwarming community spirit.

The race starts bright and early at 8:30 AM, with packet pickup and race day registration available starting at 7:00 AM at Shelter #10, next to the Newman Bandshell in Audubon Park. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 92F and lows around 76F, with a 21% chance of precipitation, so prepare for a warm and potentially humid New Orleans summer morning. Your participation extends beyond the finish line, as proceeds support the New Orleans Track Club Scholarship Fund and Special Olympics Louisiana, making your run even more impactful.

Cross the finish line and continue the celebration with lively music, delicious food, and refreshing drinks, creating lasting memories with family and friends. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply enjoying a festive morning out, the Richard Newcomb Memorial Father's Day Race promises a rewarding experience in one of New Orleans' most picturesque settings.
