About the Lucky Leprechaun Half Marathon, 10 Miler, & 5K
The course rolls through country roads outside Versailles, passing through horse farm territory on paved roads the whole way. It starts and finishes at a recreation center, and a DJ keeps things moving at the start area. Several distance options mean you will see runners spreading out across the same rural scenery.
Packet pickup is available at a running store in Lexington the evening before the race, at the recreation center the day before, and again race morning at the start area. The race benefits a foster care organization and a local humane society.

The Lucky Leprechaun Half Marathon, 10 Miler, & 5K has been held every year since at least 2016. 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.
