About this race
We're back on the bayou for the 37th annual New Orleans Greek Festival Run & Walk! Start your Memorial Day weekend off right by joining us on Saturday morning, May 29th, 2027, at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral for a fun and healthy way to celebrate the rich culture and heritage of Greece.
You can choose from a 5K or a 1-mile course, both starting and finishing at the one and only NOLA Greek Fest. After the run/walk, your race bib gets you early access into the festival with two (2) free admissions ($20 value), free beer while supplies last, and delicious Greek food, music, and dancing.
