About the St. Patrick's Day Run Fest
The races start and finish in downtown Hagerstown, and the whole morning is built around St. Patrick's Day, so expect green everywhere and plenty of costumes. Several distance options mean people show up at different levels of seriousness, and the after party picks up right as the last runners finish.
Packet pickup runs early in the week at a local community college, with a second option on race morning at Hub City Brewery, which also serves as the gathering spot afterward. The brewery opens early enough to get settled before the first wave goes off.

St. Patrick's Day Run Fest 2026 Results
Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The St. Patrick's Day Run Fest has been held every year since at least 2022. 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.
