Embrace the vibrant spirit of St. Patrick's Day at Harrigan's 5K, a cherished tradition set to take place on Saturday, March 7, 2026, in Kettering, OH. This popular 5K run/walk offers a fantastic opportunity to kick off your spring racing season while contributing to meaningful local causes. The race is a dedicated fundraiser, with all proceeds benefiting vital charities such as the Alzheimer's Association, JDRF, United Rehabilitation Services of Greater Dayton, and South Community Positive Health Options.

The Harrigan's 5K course features a precisely measured 5K route, starting and finishing on Chateau. Runners can expect a smooth, well-organized experience with chip-based professional timing to ensure accurate results. Typical race day conditions in early March present crisp temperatures, with highs around 47°F and lows near 28°F, and only a 15% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather. Aid is available on the course with at least one water stop, and post-race, runners are treated to refreshments including bananas, water, and snacks.

What truly sets Harrigan's 5K apart is its lively atmosphere and commitment to community. Participants are encouraged to don their festive St. Patrick's Day attire, adding to the joyful ambiance. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment with food, refreshments, and door prizes at Harrigan's Tavern, which opens early to welcome runners. Medals are awarded to the top three finishers in each category, and lucky male and female runners even have a chance to win new running shoes. Join this spirited event that perfectly blends fitness, fun, and philanthropy.
