New Orleans Track Club Summer Series
The New Orleans Track Club (NOTC) hosts a series of three running and walking events held at various locations throughout New Orleans and Kenner. The series takes place between June and August, offering participants the opportunity to stay active during the summer months. Each event features a 2-mile course designed for both runners and walkers.
The routes utilize scenic off-road grass paths in prominent local parks. The designated venues for the three separate dates include:
- Summer Series #1: Coconut Beach Volleyball Complex in Kenner.
- Summer Series #2: Lafreniere Park in Metairie, specifically the Concert Meadows area.
- Summer Series #3: New Orleans City Park at the XC Course on Diagonal Drive.
Registration is open to the public, with a discounted entry fee structure for NOTC members. Participants can choose between individual navigation or team participation. The event includes a specific Team Challenge aimed at school-based cross country and track programs. The group with the highest participation rate across all three dates is awarded a fund to support their specific athletic programs.
Post-race refreshments are provided to participants, including food and cold drinks such as water from local partners. The events focus on maintaining activity in warm weather, and the organizers encourage participants to manage their pace according to the conditions.
