More than 80 MarForRes service members and civilians helped coordinate the 32nd Annual Crescent City Classic before taking to the streets in a cadence calling formation run.

The volunteers helped direct the flow of more than 22,000 runners at the start of the 10-kilometer route as the MarForRes band played for the crowd.

Later, they formed up and ran through throngs of people from Jackson Square, through the Central Business District and finally up Esplanade to City Park.
