Omaha Blarney Stone 5K

Lace up your running shoes and embrace the spirit of St. Patrick's Day at the annual Omaha Blarney Stone 5K, set for Saturday, March 14, 2026, in La Vista, NE. This festive 5K race promises a vibrant atmosphere from start to finish. The scenic out-and-back course unfolds along the West Papio Trail, offering runners a enjoyable journey. Starting at 9:00 AM, the race begins and concludes at the lively Pint 9 and Kros Strain Breweries, located at 10411 Portal Rd, La Vista, NE, providing both indoor and outdoor gathering spaces for pre and post-race festivities.

Participants can look forward to a true celebration, with food and two adult beverages included in the entry fee. The Blarney Stone 5K encourages runners to don their best "GREEN" attire for a chance to win the "Best Dressed" costume contest. Unique to this event are the coveted green paint award rocks, a special keepsake not found at any other race. Typical race day conditions in mid-March often see highs around 50°F and lows around 28°F, with a low 8% chance of precipitation, creating a crisp and invigorating running environment. While the base registration allows for a "No Swag" option, participants can also choose to purchase legendary Blarney Stone pint glasses or themed t-shirts to commemorate their experience.
