Lucky Leprechaun 7K

Get ready to embrace the luck of the Irish at the Lucky Leprechaun 7K, returning for its 14th annual running and walking event on Saturday, March 7, 2026, in picturesque Wauwatosa, WI. This cherished St. Paddy's Day tradition invites runners and walkers alike to a scenic 7K journey (that's 4.3 miles!) through the beautiful town, with the course starting and finishing in the historic Hart Park. Described as a "runner's paradise," the route promises an enjoyable experience for all participants. Typical race day conditions in early March see highs around 41F and lows near 22F, with a 9% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a spirited run.

What truly sets the Lucky Leprechaun 7K apart is its vibrant atmosphere and commitment to a great cause, having raised over $101,500 to date for the MACC Fund in its fight against childhood cancer. Participants can hydrate at two strategically placed water stations on the course, approximately at mile 2 and mile 3.5. The celebration continues well past the finish line at "THE BEST Post-Race Party in Milwaukee," held at Leff's Lucky Town. Runners are treated to live music, a lively costume contest, fire pits for warming up, marshmallow roasting, and awesome post-race snacks. All participants also receive a super soft party t-shirt, a commemorative bottle opener medal, and two complimentary Miller Lite beers or soft drinks to enjoy at the post-race festivities. For those seeking immediate merriment, the "Lucky Leprechaun Crawl" offers a quick dash straight to the party. Join this celebrated event for a memorable blend of fitness, community, and St. Paddy's day cheer!
