Shamrock Shuffle 5K

Get ready to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day the active way at the Shamrock Shuffle 5K Run/Walk! Join us on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at the Monroe County Fairgrounds for a festive morning filled with fun, fitness, and Irish spirit. Whether you’re sprinting for a personal best or strolling with friends and family, this event is designed for participants of all ages and experience levels.

This year’s Shamrock Shuffle proudly supports SSC (Sparks Strength Club) — a nonprofit powerlifting club for junior high and high school athletes in Monroe County, Indiana. All proceeds help send these dedicated young lifters to the 2026 Nationals in Killeen, Texas this March. By participating, you’re not just showing up for a race—you’re helping local youth pursue their athletic goals on a national stage.

The course winds through the fairgrounds, offering a smooth and scenic route perfect for runners and walkers alike. Participants will check in between 6:30AM–8:30AM, and the race kicks off at 9:00AM sharp.

To add to the excitement, runners will compete within our themed age divisions—from the Leprechaun Dashers (14 & under) to the Pot-of-Gold Legends (50 & over). No matter your age, there’s a spot for you on the starting line!

In true St. Patrick’s Day fashion, we encourage everyone to come dressed in their most festive green gear. Tutus, hats, shamrocks, socks, and all things lucky are welcome! Show off your Irish pride and help create a sea of green as we race into the holiday season.

Join us for a morning filled with energy, community, and festive fun—and may the luck of the Irish be with you every step of the way!
