About the Event

On the crisp morning of Saturday, October 3rd, runners and walkers will converge on New Orleans City Park for the CBS Family Picnic. The centerpiece of this festive day is the 2026 Brother Laurence Run 'n' Shuck Oyster Cup, an event that promises to be a delightful blend of athleticism and community spirit.
Participants can choose from three distinct distances: a challenging 2 Mile race through scenic park trails, a more relaxed 1 Mile course for those looking to enjoy the atmosphere at a gentler pace, and a fun Kids Trot designed specifically for children aged eight and under. Both races wind their way past lush greenery and iconic landmarks of City Park, offering runners picturesque views as they compete.
After crossing the finish line, participants are invited to join in on the post-race festivities where local delicacies and craft beers await. This family-friendly event has consistently attracted over 500 enthusiastic individuals each year, making it a beloved tradition within the community.
All proceeds from this race benefit Christian Brothers School, ensuring that every stride taken contributes directly to enriching educational opportunities for future generations in New Orleans.
Join us at the Brother Laurence Run 'n' Shuck Oyster Cup and be part of an event that celebrates both athletic achievement and communal bonds.
