The Pecan Classic is locally produced by the Catholic of Pointe Coupee Cross Country and Track and Field Program, and is a great way to get in shape, while having fun!  Both runners and walkers of all abilities are invited to participate in the race.  

The Pecan Classic is both physically challenging and a great New Roads tradition!  The 4-Mile course begins at Community Park in front of the Splash Park, runs participants through Downtown New Roads, and then finishes at the NRG Field.  The 1-Mile Fun Run is a single-loop course.
