Start your Crescent City Classic experience on the right foot at the free, two-day Health & Fitness Expo!

Located in the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel at the edge of the historic French Quarter, the Health & Fitness Expo features exhibitors showcasing the latest in running apparel, shoes, exercise equipment, nutritional and wellness products, fitness services, and much more.

Runners can still register in person for the upcoming Crescent City Classic at the Expo. Once you are registered and have picked up your race materials, (including your bib and bus tickets), step into the Expo to check out exhibitors and receive free samples, see interactive displays, and catch great sales on items like running shoes, sports apparel, sunglasses, watches, and much, much more. Swing by the official CCC store to pick up the latest in CCC gear. A wide array of items are available from t-shirts and bags to our official poster.

As you walk through the Expo, stop by the stage area to try out Yoga, attend a clinic with a fitness professional, catch a performance by a local group, see a demonstration of the latest fitness and exercise trends, and maybe even learn a little about healthy cooking. The stage schedule will be announced early in 2009. We are always looking for new, exciting, and informative entertainment; if you are interested in getting involved, please contact us at angielarrieu@cox.net.

Before you leave ... don’t forget to pick up your commemorative runner’s t-shirt and t-shirt bag with sample products, coupons, and other information from our sponsors and more. Pick up your timing chip so that you can be officially scored and eligible for a Top 500 finisher poster. Runners can provide documentation that they have completed a 10k race in a time of 45 minutes or less to qualify to receive a complimentary chip; otherwise, you can purchase the commemorative scoring chip for $5.

Whether gearing up for the race or just passing through, the Crescent City Classic Health & Fitness Expo is not to be missed. And remember, the Expo is FREE and open to the public!
  
           
EXPO FAQ:
I registered in advance.  What do I need to bring with me to the Expo in order to pick up my race number, T-shirt, or poster? You should bring your registration or purchase confirmation, or other proof of registration or poster purchase such as a canceled check.

I have already received my race number.   Can I pick up my T-shirt while I am at the Expo?  YES! The Expo is the recommended place for t-shirt pick up as we cannot guarantee that we will have your size on race day.  But remember, you MUST have your race number with you in order to pick up your T-shirt.  NO EXCEPTIONS!
