About the Saint Patrick’s 5krawl

The Saint Patrick's 5krawl is put on by the local firefighters union, which gives it a grounded, neighborhood feel. The name is part of the joke, and green is the dress code. Beyond the costumes, there is a real age group award structure, plus prizes for the best-dressed man and woman, so showing up in full regalia is genuinely worth it.

The race starts and finishes at the Greenhouse, where packet pickup and on-site registration open before the gun. After finishing, runners head inside for drinks and the awards ceremony. Members of TCTC and MRC run at a reduced entry fee, applied automatically at checkout.

Common Questions About the Saint Patrick’s 5krawl

Will I finish last at the Saint Patrick’s 5krawl?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 31:41, and the last recorded finisher came in around 58:16, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Saint Patrick’s 5krawl a good first 5K?

It is a small race (29 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Saint Patrick’s 5krawl?

The 5K winner ran 20:02 while the median finisher took 31:41. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
