Race Information

  Join us to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in downtown Fort Collins. The course is fast, flat, USTAF certified and chip timed. Wear your finest green to show off your Irish pride and support a great cause! After the race stay downtown and enjoy the St. Patrick's Day Parade!

 New Location

 This year we have new location for the event with all races starting and finishing at Odell Brewery Company. After many years of holding the event at Library Park we had to find a new location due to the construction work that the library is currently undertaking and we are excited that we have been able to find a new venue close to the original site and within close proximity of the down town St Patrick’s Day parade. While sad to leave an old home, we are grateful to Odell for allowing us to use their facilities and excited about the possibility of being able to grow and expand the event to include music food and beverages and party activities throughout the morning.

All runners over the age of 21 will be able to help celebrate the day with a free complimentary adult beverage courtesy of Odell’s and a variety of other beverages will also be available.
