Running of the Leprechauns

Do you like to run (or walk)? Do you love to drink beer? Do you think St Patrick's Day should be a week-long national holiday?

Us too. And we have the perfect event for you!

The Running of the Leprechauns starts at Oden Brewing in Greensboro, NC 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 feeling the full 5K? Check out the "Leprechaun Stroll".  You will participate in an untimed walk through parts of the course (less than 1 mile) and still get the race swag bag, race shirt (while supplies are available), and one delicious brew. 

Bring in the kiddos out for the Leprechaun Kids Dash! This short course is untimed and design for youth ages 8 and under.

Race giveaways for all participants include a commemorative short-sleeved blend shirt (while supplies last), a special finisher’s gift, AND a craft beer from Oden Brewing (21+ up). Awards ceremony will take place at Oden! By the way, we are family/stroller & pet friendly too!

You can also be a part of the fun without the run and volunteer or just come spectate! All are welcome at this event.

Think you've got what it takes to be the best dressed Leprechaun?

All are invited to participate. Top leprechaun, as decided by the judges, will receive $75 gift card to Oden Brewing! Come dressed to impress!

Best dressed signups are 8:30 AM-10:30 AM race day ONLY with judging and awards immediately following the awards ceremony.
