Shamrock Run

Lace-up your green and prepare to celebrate St. Patrick's Day early at the 9th Annual Shamrock Run in Omaha, NE, on Saturday, March 14, 2026. This festive 5K run/walk welcomes participants of all ages and skill levels, promising a vibrant start to your holiday weekend. The course features one of Omaha's flattest routes, winding along the picturesque Keystone Trail next to the Little Papillion Creek, offering a swift and enjoyable out-and-back experience. Runners will start and finish on the Keystone Trail near Mercy Road, heading south to a turnaround point before returning to the cheering crowds.

Typical race day conditions in mid-March often bring crisp air, with highs around 52°F and lows around 30°F, accompanied by a low 7% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather. What truly sets the Shamrock Run apart is its lively atmosphere and community spirit. The event checks in and holds post-race festivities at the Backlot Taphouse in Aksarben Village, a bustling hub known for its local restaurants, bars, and vibrant weekend scene. Participants can look forward to ample giveaways and the chance to snag custom race swag like a T-shirt or beanie by registering early. Join fellow runners and walkers for a memorable St. Patrick's celebration that supports local schools and ALS of the Heartland.
