About the race
The Shamrock'n Race is the 20th annual St. Patrick's Day themed running event held at Burnaby Lake Regional Park on March 15, 2026. The event offers three measured distances that follow trails around the lake and pass through a wildlife sanctuary where participants may see birds and other animals.
Distances
- 5K
- 7 Mile
- Half Marathon (21.1 km)
The 7 Mile and half marathon courses circle Burnaby Lake clockwise and use the park trail network. The start and finish area is located at West Field number 2 on the grass, next to the playground. The event uses chip timing; participants attach the timing tag to their shoe laces and a display clock is provided. Results are only recorded for entrants with a timing tag. A bag check is available by donation at the charity table near the start and finish area.
Event packages include a mini Shamrock'n magnetic Bluetooth speaker with lights. Awards are presented as soon as the top three finishers are recorded in each distance. The event supports Ronald McDonald House BC Yukon and lists local partners and sponsors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
