Lace up your running shoes or load up your ruck for the St. Patty's 5K or Ruck and Fitness Mile, returning to Uniontown, PA, on Saturday, March 21, 2026. This popular event, hosted by TheTrophyHusband.run Race Series, offers a vibrant celebration of fitness and community, all while honoring the legacy of Amy Tungate, a beloved local figure. Participants can choose between a fast and flat 5K run, walk, or ruck through Uniontown and South Union Township, or challenge their endurance in the unique Fitness Mile.

The Fitness Mile truly sets this event apart, featuring four quarter-mile segments interspersed with exercises such as burpees, air squats, overhead presses, sit-ups, lunges, and push-ups, making it an excellent way to test your limits. For those seeking the ultimate challenge, combine both the 5K and Fitness Mile to compete for the prestigious title of "Fittest Male and Female in Fayette County". Ruckers can also vie for awards in their division, carrying 45 lbs for men and 35 lbs for women. The race headquarters, including packet pickup and registration, is conveniently located at the Uniontown High School Track at 146 E. Fayette Street, with ample parking available. Typical race day conditions in late March bring highs around 54°F and lows near 30°F, with a 15% chance of precipitation.

Beyond the competition, the St. Patty's 5K fosters a festive atmosphere and supports a meaningful cause. Proceeds from the event benefit Amy's Army for PanCAN: Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, continuing Amy Tungate's spirit of health, wellness, and community. Many past participants have praised the festive, fun atmosphere and the scenic course, with an after-party often adding to the post-race camaraderie.
