About the Shamrock Scurry 5K/1Mile
The course starts near Killearn Methodist Church and winds through residential streets alongside a golf course. Locals describe it as tough, and that reputation holds. There is a real hill that shows up late in the route, and it has its own name among runners who have been coming back for years.
Packet pickup is at the church and runs across a couple of windows in the days before the race, with an option on race morning as well. Afterward, there is a pancake breakfast on site, and proceeds from the whole event go to local charities and youth programs.

The Shamrock Scurry 5K/1Mile has been held every year since at least 2025. 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 Oct 25, 2026.
