11th Annual Holy Infant Shamrock Shuffle

Lace up your running shoes and embrace the spirit of St. Patrick's Day at the 11th Annual Holy Infant Shamrock Shuffle, set for Saturday, March 7, 2026, in Ballwin, MO. This beloved community event offers both a 5K race and a 1-Mile Fun Run, making it a perfect outing for runners and walkers of all ages and skill levels. Expect typical race day conditions to be crisp, with highs around 54°F and lows near 32°F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a memorable run. This family-friendly tradition is more than just a race; it's a lively gathering that supports the Holy Infant Parish Outreach Programs.

The 5K course, contained within two local subdivisions, provides a moderately challenging experience with a mix of rolling hills and flat, well-maintained paved sections. Runners will enjoy residential scenery along an out-and-back route. Participants can look forward to earning a commemorative race shirt, and 5K finishers often receive a medal. Awards are presented to the top three overall male and female 5K finishers, as well as top performers across various age groups.

The excitement continues well past the finish line with a vibrant post-run celebration. Held at the Holy Infant Parish, the festivities include music, an array of food trucks, and family-friendly activities, creating a festive atmosphere for everyone. With its welcoming environment, community focus, and commitment to a good cause, the Holy Infant Shamrock Shuffle promises a rewarding and fun-filled start to your March weekend.
