Shamrock Hill 5K Run & 1 Mile Walk

One of Roanoke's most loved and luckiest races is back with the Shamrock Hill Run on Saturday, March 16, 2024, at 9:00 am!

Brought to you by Roanoke Catholic School, our 5K (and 1-miler) gives you a healthy, fun start to all of Roanoke's St. Patrick's Day weekend festivities. 

Both races will start and end at Roanoke Catholic, and feature an all-new route that winds its way through Gainsboro and Lick Run Greenway. Afterwards, you'll enjoy our Celtic-themed awards party that will wrap up in time for you to still attend the Freedom First St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Shamrock Festival in downtown Roanoke! Race chip-timing provided by Run Roanoke.

Registration through March 9: $20. Registration after March 9: $25.

All proceeds benefit Roanoke Catholic School, which is dedicated to the education of the whole person, blending learning with faith and faith with daily life.
