St. Paddy's Day Run

The St. Paddy’s Day Run in Tacoma, organized by the Tacoma City Marathon Association, offers a festive running event featuring a half marathon, 10K, and 5K distances. The half marathon is a scenic out-and-back course starting downtown, running along the waterfront and Ruston Way Path, passing landmarks like Point Ruston Waterwalk and Dune Peninsula Park, including a climb over the Wilson Way Bridge for panoramic views.

The 10K follows part of the half marathon route, while the 5K is a family-friendly 3.1-mile run/walk. All finishers receive commemorative medals. The event supports the Humane Society of Tacoma & Pierce County and provides aid stations, race swag, and awards for top finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
