New Orleans Track Club (NOTC)

The mission of the NOTC is to produce and promote running events both as a competitive sport and as one of the best athletic activities for achieving physical and mental fitness. Membership is open to all, fast, slow, and in-between, who share our passion for the sport.

The NOTC is a non-profit organization that has been promoting health and fitness in the New Orleans community for over 60 years. We offer a variety of events and programs for all ages and abilities, including running, walking, and cross-country. We also offer scholarships to help young people pursue their dreams of running. In addition, we are committed to community service and donate our time and resources to help those in need.

With over 2,000 club members, we are the 4th largest running club in the nation. We own and/or produce 18 events a year including the iconic 118th NOAC Turkey Day Race and the 118th Jackson Day Race.
