Diane Weiss has been a NOTC member for over 25 years and has extended the New Orleans running community to the north shore. Although she only started running at 30 years old, she became an avid runner, earning Masters and Grandmasters awards, including the NOTC Grand Prix series, finishing first in 50-59 in 2015 and first in 60-69 in 2019. Her influence on the running community was greater from an organizational, promotional, and leadership perspective.

Diane is the cofounder of the 15th Street Flyers ('99) based in Covington and also includes the Mandeville area, which hosts training groups for runners and walkers of all backgrounds, as well as hosts community events and road races. She has worked with numerous organizations to promote their cause and charity since 2002, including the Four on the Fourth race, which she cofounded 21 years ago. Diane has coached middle school cross country, assisted in coaching cross country at St. Paul's, where she helps coordinate their annual fun run, and works/volunteers at local cross country meets and camps for youth. She volunteers for many local road races, including the CCC, NOTC MG Marathon, and now Rock'n'Roll. She also promotes the NOTC summer series and other races to runners on the north shore. In addition to her road race and run group management, she has also served on the Mayor's (Covington) Council for Healthy Lifestyles, promoting running as a healthy lifestyle. She continues to support runners and walkers throughout this region using years of experience not only in running but also through volunteering and race event management.
