Join Team Youth Run NOLA! 

Founded in 2010 as a small after-school running club, Youth Run NOLA has grown into a movement empowering more than 4,000 young people across Greater New Orleans. We believe movement is for everyone, running, walking, and moving together should be a joy all people can experience.

Our free, eight-month program pairs youth with mentors and volunteers who help them set goals, build resilience, and discover the power of belonging.

By joining Team Youth Run NOLA as a Crescent City Classic Charity Runner, you help keep our program free and accessible for all. Your miles support youth mental health, strengthen life skills, and provide mentorship, while also covering shoes, uniforms, and healthy snacks, helping combat food insecurity, and bridging the gap left by school budget cuts.

Every mile you run helps a young person move toward a brighter, healthier future, one stride at a time.
