2026 Shamrock Run
Each year, the Shamrock Run draws thousands of participants and spectators, with more than 2,300 runners completing the 2-mile course down Broadway from Academy Green to the Rondout.The event is proudly family-friendly, welcoming runners and walkers of all ages, strollers, and first-time participants who want to enjoy a festive, non-competitive community run. Families are encouraged to dress in green, bring signs, and cheer along the route!
The race will start at 12:50PM sharp, with our annual Shenanigator, Nadine Ferraro, firing the starting cannon.
