Description
Do you like to run or walk? Do you love to drink beer and think St Patrick's Day should be a week-long national holiday? Then we have the event for you! The Running of the Leprechauns in Greensboro, NC.
The run starts Oden Brewing and tours the UNCG campus before ending back at Oden Brewing for the soon to be famous Saturday before St. Paddy's Leprechaun celebration. This is a chip timed event and a part of The Race Series. All finishers receive series points for participation.
Not up to a 5K, then check out the "Leprechaun stroll" registration option above. You will participate in an untimed stroll through parts of the course (less than 1 mile) and still get the race swag bag, race shirt (while supplies are available), and two delicious brews.
New in 2026, bring in the littles for the Leprechaun Kids Dash! This short course is untimed and design for youth 8 and under.
Race giveaways for all participants include a commemorative short-sleeved blend shirt (while supplies last), a special finisher’s gift, AND craft beer from Oden Brewing. Awards ceremony will take place at Oden! Be a part of history that will for sure become your annual St. Paddy’s Day tradition! BTW, we are family/stroller & pet friendly too!
Don't like to run? Be a part of the fun without the run and volunteer or just come spectate! All are welcome at this event.
