Running of the Leprechauns - Greensboro, NC

The Running of the Leprechauns takes place on March 14, 2026, beginning and ending at Oden Brewing Company in Greensboro, NC, and includes a course that tours parts of the UNCG campus. The main race is a chip-timed 5K and is part of The Race Series; finishers receive series points for participation. An awards ceremony will be held at Oden Brewing.

Multiple participation options are offered, each with specific features and giveaways. Race giveaways listed for participants include a commemorative short-sleeved blend shirt while supplies last, a special finisher’s gift, and craft beer from Oden Brewing for participants aged 21 and older. The event is described as family, stroller, and pet friendly.

A shorter untimed option, the Leprechaun Stroll, covers less than one mile and includes a swag bag, race shirt while supplies last, and two brews for eligible participants. The Leprechaun Dash is an untimed short course designed for youth aged 8 and under. A best dressed leprechaun contest will be judged on race day only; the top leprechaun, as decided by judges, receives a $100 gift card to Oden Brewing.
