Saint Patrick School Irish Dash

Get ready to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a festive dash at the 23rd Annual Saint Patrick School Irish Dash, taking place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, in Terre Haute, Indiana. This community tradition offers both a 5K Run/Walk and a 1 Mile Fun Run, catering to participants of all ages and fitness levels. The races kick off from the emblematic shamrock located at the intersection of 19th and Poplar Streets. Typical race day conditions in mid-March include highs around 53F and lows around 34F, with a minimal 13% chance of precipitation, providing a brisk and enjoyable running environment.

This spirited event is more than just a race; it's a vibrant celebration that directly supports the Saint Patrick School Class of 2027's educational trip to Washington D.C. Participants can look forward to a day filled with excitement, including chipped timing for the 5K, a technical race shirt, and post-race food and entertainment. What truly sets this event apart is its lively atmosphere and unique award categories, including prizes for the "Most Irish Spirited Costume" and "Most Green Worn," encouraging runners to embrace the holiday theme.

The Saint Patrick School Irish Dash is a cherished part of Terre Haute's local St. Patrick's celebration festivities, with check-in conveniently located at the St. Patrick School Parking Lot at 449 S. 19th Street. After crossing the finish line, awards will be presented at the school. Join fellow runners and walkers for an unforgettable experience that combines healthy competition with community spirit and festive fun.
