About the Event

Grab your green and gold and RUN your Shamrocks off!

It's time to click those heels and chase the gold at the end of the rainbow. You even get to press your luck and see if you can’t beat our Leprechaun to the finish! 

Run the, now iconic, Shamrock Course and celebrate St. Paddy's Day with your friends as we continue to support Running Free Alaska!

Warm up pre-race in the Bear Tooth! They will be serving Grab-N-Go breakfast burritos starting at 8:30 a.m. and their full menu starting at 10:00 a.m. Once you get done with the run, you can cool down with your favorite Broken Tooth Beverage, so make sure to bring your ID.

Each participant gets a fresh beanie, a killer pint glass, a coupon for one Broken Tooth beverage anytime on race day, and an option to purchase a hip shirt. One lucky participant will even get to find out how much they weigh in Bear Tooth beverage. A moment, no one wants to miss!

Going virtual, it's still your lucky day! You’ll get your beanie, pint glass, a gift card to Bear Tooth to indulge later, and an option to purchase that hip shirt. 

We are excited to cover the streets in green and gold to help raise money for Running Free Alaska. Come join us as we kick off the 2026 race season. We’ve got lots more details to come, so stay tuned to updates!
