About the St. Patrick's Day Butte Color Run
The course runs through Stodden Park, where color stations are set up along the way so runners, joggers, and walkers come out the other end dusted in powder. The park also has a pavilion area near a carousel and a waterway, which gives the surroundings a neighborhood feel. Both the shorter fun run and the longer course use the same festive setup.
Packet pickup runs the afternoon before the race at the park's golf course clubhouse, with race-day pickup available at the event site starting midday. Food, music, and activity booths from local students are going on before the race starts, so arriving early gives you something to do while you wait.

The St. Patrick's Day Butte Color Run has been held every year since at least 2023. 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.
