Woodinville Leprechaun Leap 5K/10K

Unfortunately, the Woodinville Leprechaun Leap 5K/10K, originally scheduled for March 14, 2026, has been canceled for this year. However, this popular event has a rich history of bringing festive fun to runners and walkers alike, and we can look forward to its potential return in 2027.

Typically held in Woodinville, WA, the Woodinville Leprechaun Leap invites participants to embrace the spirit of St. Patrick's Day with a choice of a 5K or 10K run/walk, alongside a spirited 100M Sprite Sprint for kids aged 6 and under. The courses are renowned for being fast and flat, guiding runners along the picturesque Sammamish River pathways, offering scenic views for all skill levels. The start and finish lines are usually located at Wilmot Gateway Park, a central hub for the race day festivities. Race day conditions in mid-March typically feature highs around 54°F and lows near 39°F, with an approximately 18% chance of precipitation, making for invigorating running weather.

What truly makes the Woodinville Leprechaun Leap a beloved event is its vibrant atmosphere and community spirit. It's a family-friendly affair that welcomes dogs and strollers in the 5K, encouraging everyone to join the Irish-themed merriment. Participants often vie for top-notch prizes, finisher's medals, and a special "Move with a Mission" celebratory glass, all while supporting a heartwarming cause dedicated to uplifting vulnerable women and children through the Health & Hope Foundation. The festive costume contest adds an extra layer of fun, promising awards for the most creative St. Paddy's Day attire, along with drawings for other exciting prizes.
