St. Paddy's Day Run

St. Paddy’s Day Run Tacoma, organized by the Tacoma City Marathon Association, offers a festive weekend with three distances in downtown Tacoma: half marathon, 10K, and 5K. The half marathon is a gorgeous out-and-back course along the waterfront, extending to the Ruston Way Path, Point Ruston WaterWalk, and Dune Peninsula Park, with a crossing of the Wilson Way Bridge for views before returning to downtown.

The 10K follows the same route, while the 5K provides a family-friendly 3.1-mile option. All finishers receive a commemorative medal; halves get a tech shirt. Proceeds benefit the Humane Society of Tacoma & Pierce County, with optional merchandise and pacers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
