Lace up your shoes for the New Orleans Track Club (NOTC) Summer Series, kicking off its spirited season on June 9, 2026, in New Orleans, LA. This family-friendly 2-mile run/walk, held at the Coconut Beach Volleyball Complex, offers a fantastic opportunity for runners and walkers of all abilities to stay active and embrace the vibrant local running culture. The scenic course winds along a levee, providing picturesque views as you push towards the finish line.
The NOTC Summer Series is renowned for its lively, casual atmosphere, making it a beloved tradition for locals to beat the summer heat. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment with a festive post-race party featuring music, vendors, delicious food, refreshing beverages, and ice-cold beer. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 90F and lows around 74F, and an 18% chance of precipitation, the evening 6:30 PM start time offers a slightly cooler experience, and participants are encouraged to stay hydrated with water provided by partners like Kentwood Springs.
As part of a long-standing tradition from one of the nation's oldest running clubs, the Summer Series also offers a unique team challenge for school cross country and track programs, fostering community spirit and supporting youth athletics. Registration for this accessible event is free for NOTC members and just $10 for non-members, making it an affordable and engaging way to experience fitness and fun in the heart of New Orleans.
