About the Chautauqua Striders St. Pat's Dash

The course runs through Jamestown, and the race doubles as the opening event of a local running club's year-long series. The St. Patrick's Day timing means a lot of green on the course. Proceeds support youth programming, and the event draws runners and walkers at every pace.

Check-in and day-of registration open in the arena club before the start. Awards are held upstairs in the same building after the race. Post-race snacks are on hand, and the afternoon extends into a mini golf bar crawl through participating spots around town for those who want to keep going.

Common Questions About the Chautauqua Striders St. Pat's Dash

Will I finish last at the Chautauqua Striders St. Pat's Dash?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3 Miles field finished slower than 25:45, and the last recorded finisher came in around 53:58, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Chautauqua Striders St. Pat's Dash a good first 3 Miles?

It is a small race (89 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Chautauqua Striders St. Pat's Dash?

The 3 Miles winner ran 16:02 while the median finisher took 25:45. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
