Get ready to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a festive stride at the Shake Your Shamrock race, taking place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, in charming Centerville, MN. Runners can choose between a spirited 5K or an invigorating 7K, both set on flat, fast paved trails just north of St. Paul. This inclusive event welcomes participants of all abilities, from competitive runners aiming for a personal best to casual walkers, families with strollers, and even those running with leashed dogs, ensuring a fun experience for everyone.

The course offers a picturesque journey around the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes, providing beautiful tree-lined scenery and scenic views along the water as you race. What truly sets the Shake Your Shamrock apart are its unique race perks and vibrant atmosphere. Participants will enjoy free professional photography capturing their efforts and will be rewarded at the finish line with a custom medal that cleverly doubles as a bottle opener, a themed necklace, and a gold candy coin.

The celebration extends beyond the finish line with an epic post-race party hosted at Kelly's Korner Bar, famous for its incredible onion rings and colossal Bloody Marys, where runners 21 and over can enjoy a complimentary first beer. With typical race day conditions boasting highs around 40F and lows near 19F, and a low 6% chance of precipitation, runners can anticipate crisp, ideal weather. Free parking is conveniently available close to the start and finish, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable race day experience from beginning to end.
