The Deer Park St. Paddy’s 10K & 5K takes place in Deer Park, Illinois, offering a variety of distances for different preferences. The event features a course set entirely on streets and paved paths around the Deer Park Town Center. Participants can choose between chip-timed competitive divisions or a fun run format.
The following distances are available:
- 10 km
- 5 km

Participants have a choice of event gear, with options typically including a classic t-shirt or a performance poly hoodie. Those who complete the 5 km or 10 km courses receive a 16 oz. commemorative pint glass and a shamrock sugar cookie at the finish line. Finisher medals for these distances are available for purchase during the registration process.
The event route has a total time limit of 1 hour and 50 minutes for both the 5 km and 10 km distances. The course features water stations, and live participant tracking is available through a dedicated mobile application.
