Event Information
The 2026 Shamrock'n Race is a St. Patrick's Day themed event taking place on Sunday, March 15th. It features three distances: 5K, 7 miles, and a half marathon. The event is produced by Try Events.

The organizers note that for this race, the direction around the lake will be opposite to that of the Rubber Ducky Half Marathon.
