Embrace the spirit of St. Patrick's Day with a festive dash along Brooklyn's picturesque waterfront at the Brooklyn St. Patrick's 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon on March 15, 2026. This popular event, known for its "I'm Here To Paddy!" theme, offers runners a unique opportunity to celebrate the holiday while enjoying stunning views of the Verrazzano Bridge. The scenic out-and-back boardwalk course provides a generally flat and fast experience for all distances, with the Half Marathon consisting of four loops along The Narrows.

Runners consistently praise the race for its "great" production and lively atmosphere. As you take on the paved course, volunteers will be ready to capture your memorable moments against the backdrop of the iconic bridge. Aid stations are well-supported, providing water and Gatorade at strategic points along the loops and at the finish line, ensuring you stay hydrated and energized. Typical race day conditions in mid-March often bring pleasant weather, with highs around 50°F and lows around 36°F, and a relatively low 14% chance of precipitation.

Starting and finishing at Veterans Memorial Pier on Shore Road and Bay Ridge Avenue, this race promises a rewarding experience for both seasoned athletes and casual runners. Participants will receive a festive race tee and a finisher's medal, with post-race treats from All Round Foods and Waterloo Sparkling Water to celebrate your accomplishment. A portion of event proceeds also benefits the Never Stop Running Foundation, supporting athletic and charitable endeavors.
