Sign up Now for St. Pat’s Run Fest 5K and 10K in DC

You’ll need some of that famous Irish luck if you want to tackle both of the athletic events unfolding in D.C. on Sunday, March 15th. The St. Pat’s Run Fest 5K and 10K actually start at different times, meaning participants are invited to run them one right after the other. But don’t worry if you just pick a single race—you’ll still get all the fresh air and fun!

Both the 5K and the 10K pass along the Potomac via Ohio Drive, offering beautiful views of the river, but you’ll experience even more of its shores if you run the longer route. That one extends to the Rock Creek Parkway, passing right by the Kennedy Center. Expect to catch sight of iconic D.C. landmarks while you run, including the Korean War Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, and even the Washington Monument. Registration fees vary, but the earlier you sign up, the cheaper your registration will be.
