Greek Festival Run & Walk

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

We're back on the bayou for the 35th annual New Orleans Greek Festival Run & Walk! Start your Memorial Day weekend off right by joining us on Saturday morning, May 23rd, 2026, 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. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the best of both worlds: fitness and festivity!
