St. Patrick's Day 5K

Celebrate the Irish holiday with fitness at the 3rd annual

St. Patrick's Day 5K. Then stick around to celebrate your 5K success at the

post-race celebration in Juilliard Park!





The race is chip-timed and open to all ages and

abilities. The route starts and finishes in Juilliard Park and travels through

the Prince Memorial Greenway. All participants receive a commemorative mug at

the finish line, which they can fill with an ice cold beer generously provided

by Third Street Aleworks or a root beer! (Please bring proper ID for beer

service.)





The post-run celebration includes a judged

costume contest presented by Wine Country Radio, live music from local band

Soup Sandwich, games for the kids, a photo booth, good eats for sale from local

food trucks and sponsor giveaways. 





All registrations must be done online. Register

by February 28 for best price. Special pricing for youth 17 and under. Register

a group of 10 or more and receive $5 off each registration. Registration closes

March 9th at 11:59pm. Don't delay, the event sold out last year!





Event proceeds benefit Santa Rosa Recreation & Parks.





The St. Patty’s Day 5Kis taking the GREEN

theme to a whole new level this year!


The City of Santa Rosa’s Water-Use

Efficiency team is helping us to “green” the event and kick-off Fix a Leak Week

March 17th-21st! Stop by their booth at the event to learn more about the lawn

removal rebate and other incentive programs, and find out how to obtain free

high-efficiency showerheads and aerators for your home. Plus, all racers will

score a new stainless steel water bottle and can freshen up at their hydration

station! And finally, don’t be surprised if you spot a running toilet during

the race!
