About the St Patrick's Day 5K Run/Walk

The course winds through the streets of Saint Henry, starting and finishing at the American Legion Hall. It is an early-season road race with a village feel, the kind of route where you are passing storefronts and neighbors rather than trails or parks. There is a prize for the best-dressed runner, and a mid-pack finisher award, which keeps things interesting across the whole field.

Post-race, the party at the American Legion is the draw: green beer, food, and then the St. Patrick's Day Parade rolling through town. If you are coming from out of the area, it is worth building the whole afternoon around it.

Common Questions About the St Patrick's Day 5K Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the St Patrick's Day 5K Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 30:46, and the last recorded finisher came in around 53:01, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the St Patrick's Day 5K Run/Walk a good first 5K?

It is a small race (182 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 St Patrick's Day 5K Run/Walk?

The 5K winner ran 19:18 while the median finisher took 30:46. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
