Father's Day Run & Walk

Celebrate Father's Day with a memorable stride at the historic Richard Newcomb Memorial Father's Day Run & Walk, set for Sunday, June 21, 2026, in scenic Audubon Park, New Orleans, LA. This beloved event, hosted by the New Orleans Track Club, offers a perfect opportunity for the whole family to participate with distances including a 2-Mile Run and a 0.5-Mile Kids Run. All paces are warmly welcomed, fostering a community spirit that cherishes father figures.

The course winds along the picturesque Audubon Park running and walking path, guiding participants through the shade of magnificent oak trees, offering a flat and enjoyable experience. What makes this race truly unique is its emphasis on family, featuring special awards for Father/Son, Father/Daughter, Grandfather/Grandson, and Grandfather/Granddaughter teams. Typical race day conditions in late June in New Orleans see highs around 92°F and lows around 76°F, with a 21% chance of precipitation.

The celebration continues post-race at Shelter #10 next to the Newman Bandshell, the central hub for packet pickup, start, and finish. Runners can look forward to lively music, tasty food, and refreshing beverages, all while supporting a great cause as a portion of proceeds benefits the New Orleans Track Club Scholarship Fund. Join fellow runners and walkers for a day of fitness, family, and fun in the heart of New Orleans.
