ABOUT CRESCENT CITY CLASSIC TRAINING PLANS
Founded in 1979, the Crescent City Classic brings close to 20,000 athletes to take part in this 10K race on the Saturday before Easter. Custom Training Plans offers a customizable Crescent City Classic training plan for runners of all levels. Our Crescent City Classic training programs have been developed by professional trainers and include workouts that are designed to help you increase your cardiovascular fitness, strength, and endurance. Training with a customized plan means that you get workouts that are geared toward your current fitness level, helping you make steady progress toward race day.
The Crescent City Classic features a scenic route that runs through the streets of New Orleans. This fast, flat, point-to-point course starts in front of the Superdome and runs through the French Quarter past Cafe Du Monde and the French Market. The course continues down beautiful Esplanade Avenue to New Orleans City Park. The remainder of the course takes place inside the park, passing by Storyland before finishing just before the New Orleans Museum of Art, where a cheering crowd awaits. Because the course features almost no elevation change, the Crescent City Classic is a great race for runners of all abilities, particularly when you train using a CTP Crescent City Classic training plan.
Preparing for the Crescent City Classic with Custom Training Plans can help you train safely, with workouts custom-made to help you take advantage of the flat terrain. Whether your goal is to finish your first 10K or to set a new PR, a Crescent City Classic training plan can get you ready to race from the Superdome to City Park feeling strong and swift. Trust CTP to help you prepare for your Crescent City Classic 10K with customized running, cross-training, and mobility workouts designed just for you.

Our method
-
With the expertise of USATF certified coaches and physical therapists, we built an advanced model to weigh the effects of runner-specific variables on training outcomes.
-
We analyzed unique characteristics of hundreds of races across the country to build a “race profile” into our model that accounts for elevation gain, altitude, time of year, and more.
-
Our model generates a unique training plan for you and your race, and all plans are reviewed by a coach and hand-tweaked before they make their way to you.
