St. Paddy's Day Lucky Run Kansas City
The St. Paddy's Day Lucky Run takes place in Mill Creek Park on Broadway Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri on March 20, 2027. The event offers in-person and virtual participation and includes distance options for a range of participants.
Available distances:
- 5K
- 10K
- 13.1 mile
- Virtual Run
- Family 1 Mile Fun Run
The event fields are capped by wave to limit crowding; when a wave fills, participants can choose the virtual option or join a waitlist. Wave reservations are managed after registration. Timing is optional: participants may track performance with apps such as Strava or RunKeeper and submit results through the event’s online process. The event does not use timing chips.
Participants receive mailed swag for U.S. addresses and a finisher's medal. The package includes a running T-shirt, a virtual training run emailed before race week, online results and a certificate of completion, and an invitation to join a local run club. An upgrade to a technical moisture-wicking shirt is offered for an additional fee. Race bibs are distributed on race day rather than through packet pickup. Volunteer opportunities and sponsorship options are part of the event structure.
Listed registration fees vary by distance and include the following examples: 5K $41.58, 10K $46.93, Half-marathon $50.14, Virtual $41.58, Family 1 Mile $39.44. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
