Run For It

The Run For It Program is the Official Charity Program of the Crescent City Classic. The goal of the Run For It Program is to raise $1 million annually for our local community in the Greater New Orleans area. Each year, the Crescent City Classic Foundation selects local charities to support and partner with for the 10k race.

Official Charity Partners recruit and form teams of runners, joggers and walkers who commit to raising a minimum of $200 for their charity by race day.

Official Charity registrants receive exciting perks and incentives for participating. All of the money raised will be donated directly to the charity.

April 17 & April 18 $50

Run/walk FOR FREE: All participants who raise $300+ for their charity receive a FULL REFUND of their registration!

Official Charity Partner Information

How are charity partners selected?

The Crescent City Classic Foundation selects the Run For It Charity partners through an application process that opens in August each year.

The Foundation is proud to choose charities that serve the Greater New Orleans area with their mission. The Run For It Charity partners are diverse, so that all runners and walkers can choose to fundraise for a cause that inspires them.

Applications for the 2025 CCC10K are due September 30, 2024.

How does fundraising work?

Participants that choose to run or walk for a charity receive a fundraasing page to raise their required $200.00 for their selected non-profit.

Each charity runner fundraises independently on the non-profit’s behalf using their own network of family and friends through peer-to-peer fundraising.
