CATCH THE LEPRECHAUN 5K RACE RETURNS

The popular St. Patrick’s Day race, Catch the Leprechaun 5K, is returning post-covid to Mount Pleasant on Friday, March 17th at 6pm. Due to construction, the race venue is moving from Waterfront Park to the new and growing area of Mount Pleasant, Carolina Park.

The Catch the Leprechaun 5K is a 3.1 mile race for walkers, joggers, competitive and non-competitive runners and stroller pushers. Prizes are awarded to top runners, age groupers and best Irish costume! The course is a USATF Certified 5K flat and fast course on pavement.

The famous local legendary Leprechaun will be on the course with plenty of shenanigans and malarkey. Any runners who beat the leprechaun to the finish line will receive a lucky prize!

The race is presented by Blue Sky Endurance and will begin and end at The Bend at Carolina Park. Proceeds from this race will benefit Racers for Pacers, a local non profit that provides running chairs for individuals with disabilities who cannot run on their own. Racers for Pacers provides these individuals with the opportunity to “run” with a pacer on a regular basis and in local 5ks, 10ks or longer competitive runs throughout the Lowcountry.

Support a great cause and enjoy some St. Patrick's Day fitness and cheer!
