NEW ORLEANS – LCMC Health Crescent City Classic and YMCA of Greater New Orleans officials are back for the fourth annual combo of the CCC Fall Classic and YMCA Corporate Cup called the “Corporate Classic.” The family-oriented 3.1-mile race will take place this year on Saturday, Nov. 2, in New Orleans City Park at 8 a.m.
Immediately following the family-friendly race, participants will be treated to a wide array of complimentary food, beer and other beverages, live entertainment and an awards ceremony for the top 5k finishers. Registrants can participate as individuals or on corporate teams of four to six members.
“Every dollar raised provides access to learning opportunities for adults of all ages and abilities to gain the skills they need to navigate their lives, support their families, and participate more fully in the workforce and in their communities,” said Director of YMCA Educational Services Dr. Amy Leggette.
Launched in 1960, the YMCA Corporate Cup benefitted adult literacy courses and initiatives throughout the New Orleans Area. The Crescent City Fall Classic began in 1986 with a focus on education initiatives in New Orleans. The annual Corporate Classic benefits the YMCA Educational Services (YES) Adult Literacy Program.
“Combining the CCC Fall Classic and the YMCA Corporate Cup has led to a bigger event that continues to grow every year,” said Crescent City Classic Race Director Eric Stuart. “Both races have long-standing traditions in New Orleans with a strong focus on education and we look forward to continuing those traditions with our fourth annual Corporate Classic 5K this fall.”
