Time to Paddy 5k/10k & Lucky 13.1 - Memphis

Get ready to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a stride at the annual Time to Paddy 5k/10k & Lucky 13.1 - Memphis on Sunday, March 29, 2026! Taking place in Cordova, TN, at the scenic Shelby Farms Park (Mullins Station Event Field), this festive event offers distances for every runner, including a 1 Mile, 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and a full Marathon, alongside a fun Kids' Dash.

Runners will enjoy a largely flat and fast course primarily on paved trails and park roads within Shelby Farms Park, one of America's largest urban parks. Expect picturesque scenery as you traverse sections of the Shelby Farms Greenline, a peaceful, shaded trail built on a former railroad line, featuring wooded areas, open fields, and potentially a glimpse of the park's resident bison herd. Aid stations are available to keep you hydrated, with enthusiastic volunteers ensuring a safe and supportive race environment. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 69°F and lows around 45°F and only a 20% chance of precipitation, it promises to be excellent running weather.

Beyond the miles, the Time to Paddy race is a vibrant, family-friendly celebration. Participants can look forward to fantastic swag, including a designer shirt, a custom finisher medal (Half Marathoners also receive a special 13.1 pin), chip-timing, live results, and complimentary race photos. The festive atmosphere extends to a "Biggest Team" contest and delicious post-race food, ensuring a memorable experience whether you're chasing a personal best or simply soaking in the St. Patrick's Day spirit. For those unable to attend in person, a virtual race option allows you to join the fun from anywhere.
