Celebrate St. Patrick's Day in true Flint tradition at the 46th Annual Pot O' Gold Races on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, with festivities kicking off at 6:00 PM in Downtown Flint. This long-standing community event, held in partnership with the Ancient Order of Hibernians, offers a festive 4-mile run/walk through the scenic University and Cultural Center districts, a kids' Little Leprechaun dash, and the wildly fun .317K Beer Dash. All 4-mile participants receive a technical shirt, a custom finisher medal, and free festive flair to wear on the course.
The celebration continues with a lively post-race party featuring a complimentary beverage, pizza, live music, and a warming tent, capturing the true spirit of Irish camaraderie. With tiered pricing that increases as the holiday nears, this family-friendly event is the perfect way to combine fitness, tradition, and community cheer on the very day of the saint's feast.
