Race Information
St. Paddy's Day Run: Luck, Laughs, and Laces! Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a fun and festive run that’s as much about the spirit of the holiday as it is about the finish line! Whether you're running, walking, or just along for the ride, this 5K/10K/13.1 is the perfect way to enjoy the day with friends, family, and fellow revelers. Dress up in your favorite green gear—shamrocks, leprechaun hats, and everything in between— and join a race full of fun and good cheer!
Forget the massive, impersonal race-day crowds. Best Races keeps things small, personal, and local, so every run feels less like a number and more like a memory. Whether it's a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, or virtual run, you'll get the warmth of a hometown event.
