About the Celtic Run Fest
The Celtic Canter starts and finishes on Main Street in downtown Westminster, right in the middle of an Irish festival. The route is a quick out-and-back through the area while live music and vendors are already setting up around you. Several distance options are on offer, including a short fun run geared toward kids and a tongue-in-cheek ultra-short option that benefits a local mission organization.
Packet pickup runs the couple of evenings before the race at the Recreation and Parks Department on Longwell Avenue, with race-morning pickup available at race headquarters. After you finish, the festival carries on around you, with a beer garden, food, and a pub crawl via trolley through Westminster later in the day.

The Celtic Run Fest has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
