Fleet Feet's Shamrock Fun Run (x2)

Lace up your greenest running shoes for the spirited Fleet Feet's Shamrock Fun Run on March 7, 2026, a festive pre-parade dash through the heart of Wappingers Falls, New York. This untimed, family-friendly 1.5-mile event welcomes runners and walkers of all paces and abilities to kick off the St. Patrick's Day celebrations. The point-to-point course covers the entire parade route, with roads closed to traffic for a safe and enjoyable experience, culminating in a festive finish at Mesier Park. Participants should be mindful of a downhill section that requires caution and note that strollers are permitted, though dogs are not.

This unique fun run begins with participants gathering at Fleet Feet Poughkeepsie at the Shoppes at South Hills, followed by a communal walk to the starting line at the corner of Route 9D and Delavergne Avenue in Wappingers Falls. Runners are responsible for their return transportation from Mesier Park back to their vehicles, as no shuttle service is provided. Typical race day conditions in early March see highs around 45°F and lows around 25°F, with a slight 11% chance of precipitation, so dress accordingly for brisk, fresh air.

Embrace the St. Patrick's Day spirit by donning your most festive attire and prepare for a memorable start to the parade day festivities. All registered participants will receive a custom-designed Shamrock Fun Run race bib and a long-sleeved shirt to commemorate their run. While there will be no water stations on the course, participants are encouraged to bring their own hydration as needed. Join the fun, enjoy the community atmosphere, and celebrate Irish pride with Fleet Feet's Shamrock Fun Run.
