NOAC Turkey Day Race

Step into a tradition steeped in history and heart at the 117th NOAC Turkey Day Race, one of America's longest-standing running events! Feel the excitement on Thanksgiving morning as you race or walk through the iconic New Orleans City Park. Whether you're gunning for your best 5-mile time or enjoying the half-mile fun run with the kids, you're part of a multi-generational celebration that's about so much more than breaking a sweat — it's about family, community, and giving back, with proceeds supporting Spina Bifida of Louisiana. Remember to pick up your race packet early to snag that perfect participant shirt, and gear up for a day that kicks off the holiday season with energy, camaraderie, and a dash of competitive spirit. Let's make this year's event a record-breaker for both attendance and fun!
