St. Paddy's Day Lucky Run 5K/10K/13.1 PHOENIX

Embrace the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day with the St. Paddy's Day Run, an invigorating and joyous celebration that blends fitness with festive fun. This year’s edition takes place on March 20, 2027, offering runners a choice between 5K, 10K, or half-marathon distances to suit all levels of experience.
The event is designed for those who want more than just a race; it's about creating lasting memories and enjoying the camaraderie with friends and family. Participants are encouraged to dress up in their favorite green attire—think shamrocks, leprechaun hats, and anything that celebrates Ireland’s most beloved holiday. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, ensuring everyone feels like an integral part of a close-knit community rather than just another number.
Registration for the St. Paddy's Day Run fills up quickly, so early sign-ups are recommended to secure your spot in one of three waves: Wave A at 7:00 AM, Wave B at 7:30 AM, and Wave C at 8:00 AM. Each wave is limited to ensure a personal touch for every runner, with no timing chips or massive crowds to stress over.
The event offers flexibility in how you approach the race day experience. You can choose to track your time yourself using apps like Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, and submit it through an easy online form if you wish to have official results posted. Alternatively, coordinators on-site are happy to assist with timing for those who prefer a more casual run.
Participants will receive a swag bag that includes a running T-shirt shipped directly to their U.S. address (make sure your mailing information is accurate), a finisher's medal, and an invitation to join one of the local run clubs to continue building on your fitness journey after the race. For just $5 more at registration, you can upgrade to a lightweight moisture-wicking technical shirt.
Virtual runners are also welcome! You’ll receive a digital training pack that allows you to complete your chosen distance anytime before March 20th and send in your results for recognition.
The course itself is scenic and varied, offering participants an enjoyable challenge while taking advantage of the picturesque surroundings. Whether running or walking, this event caters to all paces and ages (under-18s must be accompanied by a guardian).
For those who sign up within two weeks of race day, keep in mind that your T-shirt might arrive after March 20th due to shipping timelines.
Final participant information including course maps will be sent out via email the Wednesday before the event. Volunteers and sponsors are also invited to join and contribute to making this a memorable celebration for all involved.
Join us on March 20, 2027, as we come together in spirit, laughter, and lace-up shoes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a run that's not just about the finish line but every step along the way.
