Youth Run NOLA

Youth Run NOLA Youth Run NOLA is an sports-based youth development program that support youth skills and movement!

Participants are guided by teacher-coaches at school-based chapters and volunteer running buddies at monthly events. Twice a week after school, students arrive at their school running sites prepared for a demanding, objective-aligned practice, replete with a continuing dialogue about and application of life skills, goal-setting, and leadership. Once a month, from September to April, students parti

cipate in a community race that exposes them to a new space and community in the city. Participants conclude the season by running the Crescent City Classic, and a subset complete the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon.

This Global Running Day, we’re celebrating the young people who move with YRN all season long and inviting our community to help us reach our $1,000 fundraising goal through distance-inspired gifts that help keep our running and wellness programs free and accessible.

Choose your distance:
🏃 $5 = 5K
🏃 $10 = 10K
🏃 $13 = Half Marathon
🏃 $26 = Marathon
🏃 $50+ = Ultra Supporter

No starting line required, just a chance to celebrate movement and make your impact.

You’re welcome to kick off the celebration by donating today!

Grateful to the and for inviting Youth Run NOLA to be part of such a meaningful event and for giving us the opportunity to connect with the community.

Jon, along with Youth Captains RJ and Brayden, had a great time sharing about Youth Run NOLA, the impact of our program and how movement, mentorship, and community can create opportunities for young people across Greater New Orleans.

RJ and Brayden also stepped up in a big way sharing their experiences, talking about the program’s impact, and inviting folks to join our fun Spin the Wheel movement challenge.

We’re always proud to see our youth leaders using their voices, sharing their stories and representing the YRN community.

WHAT IS YOUTH RUN NOLA?
Youth Run NOLA is more than running.

We bring together community building, youth development, and health & wellness to create opportunities for young people to grow both on and off the course.

Through mentorship, movement, and meaningful connections, we help youth build confidence, leadership skills, and a strong sense of community.

Every mile has purpose, and every step moves us forward together.
