Get ready to kick off your spring running season with the Shamrock Shuffle, a beloved annual 5-mile road race taking place on March 15, 2026, in scenic Glens Falls, NY. This "old school" classic is renowned for its fast and flat, loop-certified course, making it an ideal race for chasing a personal best or enjoying a brisk run through the community. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 42F and lows around 21F, and only a 12% chance of precipitation, providing crisp early spring weather perfect for running.

The Shamrock Shuffle offers more than just a speedy course; it's a vibrant community event known for its festive atmosphere, complete with lively bagpipers to energize participants. Both the start and finish lines are conveniently located at Glens Falls High School at 10 Quade Street, which also serves as race headquarters for packet pickup and the post-race awards ceremony. Beyond the main 5-mile event, younger runners can join the fun in the 7/8-mile Leprechaun Leap Children's Fun Run.

This well-organized event, hosted by the Adirondack Runners, is a fantastic way to embrace the Irish spirit and connect with fellow runners. Participants can look forward to post-race snacks and an enthusiastic volunteer presence. The Shamrock Shuffle proudly supports a meaningful cause, with proceeds benefiting organizations like Project: Cameron's Story, dedicated to supporting parents with premature babies in the NICU.
