Embrace the festive spirit of St. Patrick's Day at the Prineville Paddy Pint, returning Sunday, March 15, 2026, to the heart of Prineville, Oregon! This beloved community tradition invites runners, joggers, and walkers of all paces to join in a "green spectacle" with distances of 10K, 5K, and a 2-Mile run/walk. The race kicks off from Pioneer Park at 2:00 PM, allowing for a leisurely start to your day. Typical race day conditions in mid-March often bring highs around 55°F and lows around 28°F, with a low chance of precipitation, providing a refreshing atmosphere for your stride.

Known for its vibrant atmosphere and Irish spirit, the Prineville Paddy Pint encourages participants to don their most creative green attire and costumes. The course itself is described as fast and flat, offering an enjoyable road running experience for everyone. What truly sets this event apart is its integration into a weekend of community celebration, often featuring activities like a "Sip & Shop" event and a Bike Parade leading up to race day. Post-race, the festivities continue at Pioneer Park with a lively awards party, complete with local food, drinks, music, a free kids carnival, and even axe throwing. Participants can also look forward to refreshment stops along the route.

Since its inception in 2013, the Prineville Paddy Pint has grown into an annual highlight, drawing hundreds of participants while making a significant impact on the community. Proceeds from the event benefit the Oregon Dental Foundation's Tooth Taxi, which provides free dental care to children, as well as various other local organizations that promote healthy lifestyles in Crook County. Join this spirited event for a chance to run, celebrate, and contribute to meaningful local causes.
