Get ready to paint the town green at the 12th Annual Couve Clover Run on Sunday, March 22, 2026, in scenic Vancouver, WA. This popular St. Patrick's Day themed event offers distances for every stride, including a 10M, 7M, 3M, and the family-friendly 1M Lucky Leap. Runners consistently praise the event for its festive atmosphere and excellent organization by Why Racing Events. Typical race day conditions in late March bring pleasant temperatures, with highs around 56F and lows near 39F, accompanied by a 19% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

The courses, starting and finishing at Vancouver Waterfront Park, are celebrated as some of the prettiest in the Northwest. Enjoy a fast and largely flat journey with just a couple of short, rolling hills, as you take in breathtaking views of the New Vancouver Waterfront, the Renaissance Trail along the majestic Columbia River, Historic Officer's Row, and Fort Vancouver. Aid stations are well-stocked with water, and plentiful bathroom opportunities are conveniently located along the course, typically every two miles.

Beyond the picturesque scenery, the Couve Clover Run is renowned for its vibrant post-race celebration and generous swag. Don your most festive green attire for a chance to win the prize for Most Festive Costume. Finishers are rewarded with a technical running shirt, a commemorative medal, Couve Clover gloves, and a finisher pint glass. The excitement continues with an "off the charts" post-event party hosted by Why Racing Events and downtown Vancouver pubs and breweries, where you can enjoy soup, sandwiches, and beer while celebrating your accomplishment and supporting local charities.
