Guinness Celtic 5K
The Guinness Celtic 5K is a St Patrick's Day themed running event in Worcester, Massachusetts, held at Elm Park with start and finish on Park Avenue near the intersection with Highland Street. The event takes place on March 14, 2027, and is scheduled before the annual St Patrick's Day Parade. A beer garden at the finish line provides a place to view the parade after the race.
The event program includes the following distances:
- 5K
- Kids Leprechaun Run, ages 12 and under, distance approximately 1/4 mile
- Virtual 3.1 miles option
