Desert Leprechaun 5K Run/Walk & Family Mile

Get ready to paint the desert green! The exhilarating Desert Leprechaun Race is zooming back to Tucson on March 17, 2024. Join us in the heart of the city for a run that's more than just a race; it's a St. Patrick's Day extravaganza in partnership with Tucson's iconic St. Patrick’s Day Parade Festival.

Kick off your morning with a sprint at 8:30 am around the Children's Museum and Armory Park with routes so flat and fast, you might just beat the leprechauns! After crossing the finish line, celebrate with a complimentary beer (21+ crowd cheers!) and revel in the day-long festival with parades and joyous occasions. Don't miss out on the unique finisher medal, and show off your family's festive spirit while supporting a noble cause – the Children of Fallen Officers Scholarship Fund. Remember, this isn't just a run; it's a day to remember!
