Established in 1907, the New Orleans Athletic Club's Turkey Day Race is one of the oldest, continuously held non-marathon races in the United States. Starting and finishing at Tad Gormley Stadium in New Orleans City Park, the morning includes 5 Mile and kids' half-mile run / walk races. Families from around the country have made this event one of their favorite holiday traditions, with multiple generations participating year after year. Proceeds benefit Spina Bifida of Louisiana.
The NOAC Turkey Day Race is produced by the New Orleans Track Club, its members, and volunteers.
The NOAC Turkey Day race benefits Spina Bifida of Louisiana, a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization for the expressed purpose of providing support to individuals with spina bifida, and their families in Louisiana, and to increase awareness about spina bifida and its prevention.
