The Saint PATRICKS day 5K/10K Fun Run

Get ready to celebrate St. Patrick's Day early with The Saint PATRICKS day 5K/10K Fun Run, set to take place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, in picturesque Wildwood, MO. Kicking off at 8:30 AM from Racers Village at the Wildwood Farmers Market, this event offers a unique "XL" twist on traditional race distances. Participants can choose between the 5KXL, a lively 4-mile journey, or the 10KXXL, an extended 8-mile challenge. The paved, out-and-back course guides runners along the scenic Wildwood Greenway, featuring charming bridges and a fun tunnel section. Typical race day conditions in mid-March often bring pleasant highs around 57°F and lows near 35°F, with only a 15% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a festive run.

This St. Patrick's Day-themed event by Rockinator Racing promises a vibrant atmosphere where costumes are highly encouraged, adding to the fun and community spirit. Along the route, aid stations will be available at miles 4 and 8, stocked with snacks, sodas, and drinks to keep you energized. Beyond the course, runners receive an array of perks, including a "Big, Blingy West Co St. Patty's Finisher's Medal," a soft-spun event t-shirt, and a Rockinator Racing Neck Buff. The festivities continue post-race with professional chip timing, instant results, free photos, an awards ceremony, and a lively after-party featuring food and drink coupons for a local Wildwood Pub. A free kids 1/2 mile dash is also available, making it a great day out for the whole family.
