Showcasing the best of downtown Portland, the Shamrock Run will celebrate 45-years running in 2023. Portland’s longest running tradition features multiple distances ranging from the one-mile Leprechaun Lap for kids 10 and under, to the half-marathon. All of the races start and finish at Tom McCall Waterfront Park, offering sweeping views of Portland’s skyline, Willamette River waterfront, and at least seven unique bridges. The post-race ‘Finish Line Festival’ welcomes both runners and spectators, featuring a green beer garden and live music for a St. Patrick’s Day party like no other

Fun Saint Patrick's Day themed event. Lots of green and you get a free beer after you finish. 😄
I typically have run the 5K with my brother most years and the atmosphere has always been super upbeat even when it's a rainy cold PNW March day.
