Shamrock Run
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Showcasing downtown Portland, the Shamrock Run will celebrate 45 years of 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.
