Lace up your running shoes and embrace the spirit of St. Patrick's Day at the RUNLUDINGTON Irish Jog 5K/10K, set to take place on March 14, 2026, in scenic Ludington, Michigan. This festive event, a highlight of the RunLudington series, invites runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to kick off their holiday celebrations with a dash of green and a dose of healthy competition. Typical race day conditions in mid-March often bring crisp air, with highs around 42F and lows around 22F, and only a 10% chance of precipitation, creating invigorating running weather.
The course offers options for every participant. The 5K is a flat, out-and-back road and paved path route, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a smooth and swift run or a pleasant walk through downtown Ludington. For a greater challenge, the 10K features an out-and-back road course with engaging hills to test your endurance. Both courses begin and end near Legacy Plaza in downtown Ludington, ensuring a central and vibrant start and finish line atmosphere. Runners can also benefit from turn-by-turn voice navigation available via the RunGo app to guide their journey.
Participants are encouraged to don their favorite green attire to fully immerse themselves in the St. Patrick's Day merriment. Your registration includes a custom finisher medal and a race tee to commemorate your achievement. Packet pickup is conveniently offered the evening before at LOTUS, or on race day morning at Hoyt's Next Door, allowing for a stress-free start to your shamrockin' good time. Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply enjoying a festive run, the RUNLUDINGTON Irish Jog promises an engaging experience in a charming Michigan setting.
