The Shamrock Shuffle
The Shamrock Shuffle is a St. Patrick’s Day-themed event on March 14, 2026, in West Chester, Ohio. The main running distance is a 5K held on a modified loop route around Union Centre Boulevard that passes near the MidPointe Library and finishes close to a community block party on The Square. The event allows chip-timed and untimed 5K entries and accepts runners, walkers, strollers, and leashed dogs. A Leprechaun Lap fun run for younger children is included. After the running events, a block party will feature family activities, food, beer (ID required for alcohol service), and sponsor booths. The first 2,000 5K finishers will receive a medal; Leprechaun Lap participants receive a chocolate medal.
