Shamrock Shuffle

Grab your green and gold and RUN your Shamrocks off!

It's time to click those heels and chase the gold at the end of the rainbow. You even get to press your luck and see if you can’t beat our Leprechaun to the finish! 

Run the, now iconic, Shamrock Course and celebrate St. Paddy's Day with your friends as we continue to support Running Free Alaska!

Warm up pre-race in the Bear Tooth! They will be serving Grab-N-Go breakfast burritos starting at 8:30 a.m. and their full menu starting at 10:00 a.m. Once you get done with the run, you can cool down with your favorite Broken Tooth Beverage, so make sure to bring your ID.

Each participant gets a fresh beanie, a killer pint glass, a coupon for one Broken Tooth beverage anytime on race day, and an option to purchase a hip shirt. One lucky participant will even get to find out how much they weigh in Bear Tooth beverage. A moment, no one wants to miss!

Going virtual, it's still your lucky day! You’ll get your beanie, pint glass, a gift card to Bear Tooth to indulge later, and an option to purchase that hip shirt. 

We are excited to cover the streets in green and gold to help raise money for Running Free Alaska. Come join us as we kick off the 2026 race season. We’ve got lots more details to come, so stay tuned to updates!

- COVID-19 Event Participant Policy

Our sanctioning body, the USA Track and Field Association, requires us to take certain precautions to validate and insure our event. Furthermore, your help in meeting these standards is essential to keep our event safe and to insure we can continue to hold more in-person events in the near future.

1. We will send a survey the evening prior to the event to:

- Confirm (self-reporting) no signs or symptoms of COVID-19 in past 7 days (OR at least 7 days from onset of any COVID-19 infection signs or symptoms AND at least 72 hours since signs / symptoms have resolved).
- Confirm no close sustained contact with anyone who is sick within 14 days of the event.
- Confirm no travel within 14 days of the event to an international location with widespread ongoing COVID-19 transmission as determined by the CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/map-and-travel-notices.html) or travel on a cruise ship or river boat.
- Those who cannot confirm the above must not attend our in-person event. For this reason we are committed to being flexible with transfers to the virtual event, deferments, and refunds.

2. Competitors who have had a documented case of COVID-19 must have written letter from physician indicating they are cleared to compete.

3. A brief, contactless temperature check will be performed upon entering the starting corral on event day to confirm a temperature of less than 100.4F (38.0 C).

4. It is strongly recommended that individuals considered by the CDC to be “at-risk” not participate in the sanctioned event in any capacity.  This would include: 

- Individuals over the age of 65
- Individuals who live in nursing homes
- Individuals with underlying medical conditions, noted by the CDC, which place them at higher risk, such as chronic lung disease, moderate to severe asthma, diabetes, serious heart conditions, severe obesity, chronic kidney or liver disease, and individuals who are immunocompromised or live with someone who is immunocompromised.
