About the St. Paddy's Day Run Tacoma
The longer courses head out from downtown Tacoma along the waterfront, picking up the Ruston Way Path toward Point Ruston and Dune Peninsula Park. There are rolling hills along the way, and the route crosses the Wilson Way Bridge before turning back, giving you a good look over the water and the surrounding area. The shorter distances follow the same waterfront corridor but turn around sooner.
The race starts and finishes downtown, so parking and post-race options tend to be whatever the neighborhood offers. The St. Paddy's Day theme carries through the morning, and the event draws a range of paces across its distance options.

The St. Paddy's Day Run Tacoma 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 Oct 23, 2026.
