St. Pat's 5k

The St. Pat’s 5K is a festive running event held in Providence, Rhode Island, celebrating St. Patrick’s Day.

The 3.1-mile course follows the route of the Providence St. Patrick’s Day Parade, which begins immediately after the race. A kids’ Leprechaun Run of about 1/4 mile is also offered for children 12 and under, with parents welcome to join.

After the race, participants can enjoy a lively post-race party at Patrick’s Pub featuring live Irish music by The Garda Band and personalized Guinness pints. The event is part of the Tour de Patrick series, a three-race celebration across Rhode Island in March. Walkers are welcome, but pets are not allowed.
