ORRRC St. Patrick's Day 5k
Dayton, United States • 15 Mar 2026
Event Overview
The ORRRC St. Patrick's Day 5k is a running event presented by the Ohio River Road Runners Club, a volunteer-run non-profit club. This is described as one of their "small races." The race takes place in Dayton, Ohio, at Iron Horse Park.
Course and Logistics
The 5k course uses the Iron Horse Bike trail and includes a loop through a surrounding neighborhood. The route starts at a shelter house, goes out on a field path into the neighborhood, heads south on the bike trail, turns around, returns to the park, and finishes with a loop in the field. The course will be well marked with marshals at major intersections. Dogs are not allowed on the course.
Primary parking is at Iron Horse Park, with overflow parking available on surrounding streets (Millshire, Clintshire, Heathshire), where only legal street parking is permitted.
Registration and Fees
Pre-registration is handled through RunSignup. On race day, participants pick up their timing chip at a green registration table. Race day registration is available online until about 15 minutes before the start, with hard copy sheets also available.
For current ORRRC members, the race is free. For non-members aged 15 and up, the fee is $10. Participants aged 14 and under run for free. Members must show proof of membership on race day if they did not register through RunSignup.
