The St. Patrick's Day Run Fest je americká séria pretekov, ktorá sa koná v polovici marca počas sviatkov sv. Patrika. Tie behy sú súčasťou sviatku, ktorý je známy zeleným oblečením, sprievodmi, jedlom, pitím a írsko-americkými oslavami. Je to séria tematických bežeckých podujatí, nie nejaký jeden majstrovský pretek, kde sa deň zameriava na zapojenie komunity, rodinné aktivity a charitatívne partnerstvá. Táto séria pretekov nadväzuje na dlhoročnú americkú sviatočnú tradíciu. Oslavy Dňa sv. Patrika v USA siahajú až do ranej koloniálnej éry. St. Augustine sa spomína ako miesto prvej zaznamenanej oslavy a sprievodu. V Bostone a Philadelphii vznikli prvé írske spolky okolo tohto dňa, tradícia sprievodu v New Yorku pochádza od írskych vojakov a George Washington kedysi udelil tento sviatok vojakom na podporu írskej nezávislosti.
