Step into a living museum at A Run/Walk through History 5K or 1K on Sunday, April 19, 2026. This unique event, the largest of its kind held entirely within a cemetery, invites you to traverse the beautiful and historic grounds of Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans starting at 8:15 AM. Your participation directly supports the vital preservation work of Save Our Cemeteries, helping protect these irreplaceable cultural landmarks.
Choose the USATF-certified 5K route or a family-friendly 1K to explore ornate tombs and grand oak alleys at your own pace. With commemorative shirts, finisher medallions, and authentic local refreshments, this is far more than a race—it's a moving journey through time. Register early to secure your spot in a one-of-a-kind event that celebrates fitness, heritage, and community stewardship.

Way down yonder in New Orleans, you'll find the roots of jazz and a blossoming culture that is unlike anything else on Earth. Here, the laid-back atmosphere of the riverfront South has mixed with French sophistication, Spanish style, and African-American energy to create something greater than the sum of its parts. "NOLA" is the largest city in Louisiana and one of the top tourist destinations in the United States.
