Portland Shamrock Runs

Portland Shamrock Runs is Portland’s longest running tradition and features multiple distances ranging from the one-mile Leprechaun Lap for kids 10 and under, to the half-marathon.

All of the races start and finish at Tom McCall Waterfront Park, offering sweeping views of Portland’s skyline, Willamette River waterfront, and at least seven unique bridges. The post-race ‘Finish Line Festival’ welcomes both runners and spectators, featuring a green beer garden and live music for a St. Patrick’s Day party like no other.

Founded in 1979, the Shamrock Run Portland is the largest running and walking event in Oregon and is the third largest running event in the western United States.
