Lake Agassiz Pacers St. Patrick's Day 5K & 10K

Lace up your lucky shoes and immerse yourself in the vibrant spirit of the Lake Agassiz Pacers St. Patrick's Day 5K & 10K, taking place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, in Moorhead, MN. This beloved running tradition, dating back to the 1980s, is making a grand return with a brand-new course for 2026 that promises an unparalleled experience: runners will navigate the official St. Patrick's Day Parade Route! Expect a course brimming with festive energy, enthusiastic spectators, and genuine parade-day vibes as you run or walk through the heart of the celebration.

Choose your challenge with either the 3.1-mile 5K or the 6.2-mile 10K distance, both starting at 10:30 AM from the festive Swing Barrel Brewing Co. Typical race day conditions in mid-March often see highs around 36F and lows near 18F, with a slight 5% chance of precipitation, creating a crisp atmosphere perfect for a spirited run. Every participant will receive an event-branded shirt, a commemorative St. Patrick's Day mug, and a complimentary post-race drink (for those 21 and over), along with snacks to refuel after your "lucky miles."

This chip-timed event invites runners and walkers of all levels to go green and be part of a legendary community celebration. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply soaking in the unique parade-day atmosphere, the Lake Agassiz Pacers St. Patrick's Day 5K & 10K offers a memorable way to kick off your St. Patrick's Day festivities.
