Lace up your running shoes and embrace the spirit of St. Patrick's Day at the annual St Patty's 5K and Leprechaun 2K, set to take place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, in scenic Sierra Vista, Arizona. This festive event, hosted at the Apache Flats RV Resort on Fort Huachuca, invites runners and walkers of all ages to "Run, Walk, Be Irish for a Day!". The Leprechaun 2K, perfect for younger participants, kicks off bright and early, immediately followed by the 5K, ensuring a morning of energetic celebration for the whole family.

Participants can look forward to typical race day conditions that are ideal for running, with historical weather for mid-March in Sierra Vista showing pleasant highs around 69°F and cooler lows around 35°F, alongside a minimal 2% chance of precipitation.
