The Saint PATRICKS day 5K/10K Fun Run 2027

The Saint Patrick’s Day 5K is a chip-timed run at Park Place in Leawood, Kansas, held around St. Patrick’s Day. It is designed for runners seeking an official result, while maintaining a casual atmosphere with finisher medals, optional race shirts, a virtual 5K, and a kids run accompanying the main event. The start and finish are located near Park Place on Ash Street; runners may consult the posted course map prior to race day. Awards are presented to the top overall male and female finishers, top masters runners, and the top three men and women in age groups from 10 and under to 80+. Many participants wear green or themed outfits for the costume contest, and Lucky 13 Rescue, an organization supporting homeless and neglected dogs in the Kansas City area, is a charity partner for the event.
