Philly Shamrock Run : Philadelphia St. Patrick's Day 5K

The Philly Shamrock Run is a St. Patrick's Day 5K held at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on Saturday, March 13, 2027. The event uses a USATF certified course (PA25023NP) that starts and finishes on S. Broad Street and loops through Admiral Peary Way, League Island Boulevard, and Kitty Hawk Avenue. The course is mostly flat, run on paved roads, with elevation ranging from about 3 ft to 14 ft.

This is the event's second annual edition. Organizers report more than 2,000 participants in 2026 and a 2027 field capped at 3,500 runners. The event benefits the Philadelphia Zoo and is presented by Blue Cheetah, with professional timing provided by Run The Day.

Event amenities listed for registered participants include a commemorative finisher medal, an official race shirt and chip-timed bib, and access to a finish line festival and beer garden for attendees aged 21 and over. The finish area features live music, food, and community activities.

Teams of three may compete for the fastest combined time, with a "Lucky Threesome" award for the top team. The event description notes that reasonable accessibility accommodations are available on request, including accessible routes, ADA compliant portable restrooms, accessible viewing areas, and provisions for participants using wheelchairs, guide runners, or service animals.
