Get ready to paint Allison Park green at the Shamrock Run, a festive 5K event taking place on Saturday, March 7, 2026, in North Park! This St. Patrick's Day themed race invites runners of all ages and abilities to embrace their inner leprechaun. The course is celebrated for being flat and fast, offering an excellent opportunity for a personal best as you dash through the scenic surroundings of North Park, located at 10301 Pearce Mill Rd.. Beyond the main 5K, the event also features a 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk and a Kids Dash, making it a perfect outing for the entire family to enjoy a spirited day of "runnin' and wearin' of the green."
The Shamrock Run is renowned for its lively, party-like atmosphere, encouraging participants to don their most vibrant green attire and festive costumes. This family-friendly event is not just about the race; it's a community celebration that gives back. Through generous donations, the Shamrock Run helps provide meals for families throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania, adding a meaningful cause to your festive stride. Typical race day conditions in early March can see highs around 46°F and lows around 25°F, with a 14% chance of precipitation, so plan your festive layers accordingly.
Conveniently located in North Park, the 5K and 1 Mile events kick off at 9:10 AM EST, preceded by the Kids Dash at 9:00 AM EST. Be sure to arrive early, as all participants must be in the park by 8:45 AM due to road closures for the event. Parking will be available on-site near the finish line, approximately 1.5 miles from the park entrance. Join the fun and create lasting memories at Pittsburgh's luckiest race!
