Run Fast. Wear Green. Blame the Leprechauns.

It’s that time of year when Erie turns a little greener, a little louder, and a lot more festive.

Join us for the Erie Runners Club St. Patrick’s Day Distance Festival — the third race in the Winter Series and your official excuse to wear excessive shamrocks in public.

Whether you're chasing a PR, chasing friends, or just chasing the pot of gold at the finish line, this race brings:

☘️ A fast, runner-friendly course
☘️ Chip timing
☘️ Winter Series points
☘️ Post-race celebration at the Rotary
☘️ Serious bragging rights

TIMES:  5K starts at 9 am and the 10K at 10 am
Costumes encouraged. Green strongly suggested. Irish accents optional (but welcomed at the finish line).

Expect high fives, festive vibes, and maybe a rogue leprechaun or two trying to steal your medal.

After you complete the race, head back to the Rotary to check the qualification list and grab your Winter Series prize if you earned one. Nothing pairs better with a finish than chocolate and victory.

Don’t rely on luck. Register today.

? The pot of gold is waiting at the finish line.
