Four Courts Four Miler

Registration will open soon.

Come kick off St. Patrick's Day and celebrate Ireland’s Four Court's 30th Anniversary. It may only be four miles, but the Four Courts Four Miler will test your mettle. The race starts at Ireland's Four Courts in Arlington, VA. Runners will run down the Wilson Boulevard hill, turn around, and run back up the hill to finish at Four Courts where you'll start your St. Patrick's Day celebration in style and be rewarded with a tasty beverage. As the Irish saying goes, "May the road rise up to meet you." This course takes that quiet literally.

Can you beat the leprechaun? The hill is not the only challenge you'll face! You get a 10 minute head start, and then we unleash the leprechaun. Will he catch you running up the hill? If you finish before the leprechaun you might be rewarded at the finish with a "pot of gold" or perhaps a small prize to celebrate your achievement.

Registration includes a race t-shirt and a free post-race beverage provided by Four Courts. Register by March 1, 2026 to guarantee your t-shirt. After March 1, t-shirts will be provided based on availability.

Race starts at 9:00 a.m. sharp. The start line closes at 9:10 a.m. Runners will have until 10:15 a.m. to complete the course.
