Lucky Leprechaun 5K

This year we will have TWO great options for our runners!  Join us for the 4th Annual Lucky Leprechaun 5K! We are excited to announce we will have two ways to be a part of the race.  You can register to be a part of our live race on Saturday, March 6, 2021 or you can be a part of our VIRTUAL race and complete your 5k distance "Virtually Anywhere" from March 1 -6th, 2021.  We want to make sure everyone has a choice and hope the virtual option will encourage runners and hikers across the country to be a part of this great event.  When you register for the race, you will be given the choice of being at our live event or doing the race virtually.

FOR THE LIVE EVENT
Runners and walkers will have the "Luck of the Irish" on this great USA Track and Field Certified course that starts at Town Green and finishes in Historic Downtown Camden, SC at the Irish Fest Camden on Saturday, March 6th, 2021 at 8am.  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our event will look different this year. Here is a guide to the new protocols, which are subject to change. We appreciate your flexibility as we finalize these plans.  We greatly appreciate your willingness to run or walk with us and  If for any reason you are uncomfortable with participating in the “live” event, please register for our Virtual Race Option. While we recognize many of these steps are not ideal, following these steps and doing our best to eliminate the potential of spread at our events will allow us to continue to host events in this current climate.
