Shamrock Race for the Helmet

Lace up for a St. Louis area tradition at the Shamrock Race for the Helmet on March 14, 2026, a festive 5K presented by the Cottleville Firefighters that winds through a beautiful park, over a stream, and past serene lakes. Since 2008, this family-friendly event has combined a scenic, whimsical course with the coveted prize of green firefighter helmets for top finishers, creating an unforgettable St. Patrick's Day experience for runners and walkers of all levels. Your registration includes a themed race shirt and fuels the vital community work of the Cottleville Firefighters Outreach, supporting programs like winter coats for kids and aid for families in crisis.

After crossing the finish line, celebrate with post-race donuts and cold beers, enjoying the camaraderie of a true community gathering. With packet pickup at the fire station and early registration guaranteeing your shirt size, this event seamlessly blends fun, fitness, and heartfelt philanthropy. Secure your spot for a morning where every step supports local heroes and neighbors in need.
