About the Event

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the vibrant and lively atmosphere of the St. Paddy's Day Run, where luck meets laughter on March 20, 2027. This race is not just about reaching the finish line; it’s a festive gathering that invites participants to embrace the spirit of the holiday through running or walking.
Participants can choose from three distances: a fun and competitive 5K, an engaging 10K, or the half-marathon for those looking for a longer challenge. The event is designed with inclusivity in mind, welcoming runners of all ages (under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian) and paces.
The race day experience promises to be intimate and personal, avoiding the impersonal crowds often found at larger events. Waves are released on a first-come, first-served basis, ensuring that each wave remains manageable in size for an enjoyable run without feeling crowded or rushed. Wave times include 7:30 AM, 8:00 AM, and 8:30 AM.
Participants can enjoy the scenic routes while wearing their favorite green attire—shamrocks, leprechaun hats, and more—to fully immerse themselves in the holiday spirit. The race is organized with minimal fuss; there’s no gear setup required, just you, your running shoes, and a course that winds through local streets filled with cheering coordinators.
For those looking to track their personal bests, timing can be done using popular apps like Strava or RunKeeper, but it's not mandatory. The focus is on enjoyment rather than competition. Upon completion of the race, participants will receive an array of swag including a running T-shirt (shipped directly to your address in the U.S.), a finisher’s medal, and an invitation to join one of our local run clubs.
Early registration ensures that all materials are delivered ahead of time, while those signing up last minute can still enjoy race day without worrying about late shipments. Detailed course maps and final participant information will be sent out by email before the event so you’re well-prepared for your chosen distance.
Virtual runners also have an option to participate on their own schedule with a digital training pack provided via email one month prior to the race date, allowing them to run at any time that suits them best. Results can then be submitted through our online form or directly sent to [email protected] for virtual participants who complete their runs independently.
Join us in making memories and celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a community of runners who share your love for the sport, good cheer, and festive spirit.
