About the Shamrock Dash 5k
The race starts and finishes at a school stadium, and the whole setup feels like a neighborhood event built around the kids who go there. Proceeds support programs at the elementary school the race is named for, so the crowd skews toward families with a stake in the place. The course is a standard road distance out from campus and back.
Packet pickup runs the morning before the race at the same stadium, which makes the day-of start straightforward. The stadium gates open before the race begins, so there is time to settle in before the starting gun.

The Shamrock Dash 5k has been held every year since at least 2026. 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.
