Lace up your running shoes and embrace the luck of the Irish at the Leprechaun Leap 5K, set for Saturday, March 21, 2026, in the charming town of Travelers Rest, SC. This festive 5K road race kicks off and concludes at the picturesque Trailblazer Park, promising a day filled with fitness and St. Patrick's Day cheer. Runners will enjoy a course that winds through the surrounding neighborhoods, featuring a fast, downhill first mile before returning to finish near the lively amphitheater and farmers market pavilion. With typical race day conditions hovering around a comfortable 68°F high and 46°F low, and only a 13% chance of precipitation, it's an ideal setting for a spirited run.

Designed for all fitness levels, from seasoned runners to first-time participants, the Leprechaun Leap 5K is stroller and walker friendly, with a generous one-hour cutoff. While this is a cup-less event, so participants should bring their own hydration bottles, the finish line comes alive with a festive atmosphere featuring local vendors like DonutNV and exciting prizes. Registering automatically enters you to win gift cards from beloved local establishments such as YeeHaw Brewing, Bridge City Coffee, and Sidewall Pizza. Beyond the personal challenge and celebratory finish, every step taken supports a great cause, as 100% of the profits benefit the TR Police and Fire Foundation.
