Lace up your running shoes and get ready for an unforgettable St. Patrick's Day pre-party at the Little O'Pub 5K! Set for Sunday, March 15, 2026, in the charming Lordship section of Stratford, CT, this popular event kicks off from 10 Washington Parkway. Runners will enjoy a truly scenic and flat out-and-back course that winds along the picturesque waterfront, making it perfect for both seasoned runners chasing a personal best and casual participants looking for a fun walk. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 48F and lows around 32F, and only a 14% chance of precipitation, you can expect crisp, invigorating weather for your 5K journey.
What truly sets the Little O'Pub 5K apart is its lively atmosphere and exceptional post-race festivities. This "boutique" event, limited to just 250 participants, often sells out quickly, a testament to its reputation and the experienced organizers behind popular races like Miles for Margaritas and Surfin' Santa. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your achievement with fantastic amenities including Lordship Lager (for those 21 and over), Jameson shots, delicious hot food, and an array of great snacks and fluids. Early registrants even snag a special T-shirt design, and top finishers are awarded gift cards to the Little Pub, where participants can also enjoy special discounts for continued camaraderie.
Whether you're looking to PR on a flat course, enjoy beautiful coastal scenery, or simply immerse yourself in a festive pre-St. Patrick's Day celebration, the Little O'Pub 5K delivers. Plus, little ones can join the fun with their own 'Free-leaf' Clover Scamper. This race offers a unique blend of competitive spirit and community revelry, making it a must-do event on the Connecticut running calendar.
