Irish 5k

The Irish 5K, held in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, is a festive running and walking event celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. The race features a 3.1-mile course starting at Pawtucket City Hall and welcomes participants of all ages, including a special Kids Leprechaun Run for children 12 and under.

Walkers are encouraged, though pets are not allowed, and strollers must start at the back for safety. The event is part of the Tour de Patrick, a three-race series across Rhode Island in March, with a finisher’s medal for those completing all races. After the race, participants can enjoy live Irish music and a cash bar at a nearby venue.

The event supports the Pawtucket Soup Kitchen charity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
