About the Event

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 24th, 2025, 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!

Late registration will be available on Race Day but will close 30 minutes prior to 5K start time. Get details on late registration HERE.

About New Orleans

Learn more about the host city, New Orleans.

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.
