Catch The Leprechaun 5K

The Catch The Leprechaun 5K takes place on March 1, 2026, at Berea Community High School in Berea, KY (40403). The course starts and finishes behind the football stadium bleachers and uses a common start/finish on an out and back route through the park and along a portion of the Berea City Trail. The route is on private paved surfaces and is described as relatively flat. There are two hydration stations along the course.

Event options include:

  • 5K Run/Walk
  • 1 Mile (untimed) Walk
  • Virtual Runner/Walker

Race features listed by the organizer include commemorative unisex race shirts, chip timing, overall and age group awards, free race photos, music, and social teams with a prize for the largest team. The organizer notes a Catch The Leprechaun Challenge: a designated Running Leprechaun will be on the course and participants who reach the Pot of Gold before the leprechaun are eligible for prizes. The event also mentions a charity beneficiary to be announced.

Packet pickup details will be announced closer to the event; race day packet pickup will be available at the Berea Community High School parking lot. A race route map and previous event photos are provided by the organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
