Holland Leprechaun Chase 5k Presented by Haworth

Holland Leprechaun Chase 5k Presented by Haworth takes place in Holland, Michigan, on March 20, 2027. Two formats are offered: the Holland Wee Chase, a short children's race of about a quarter mile, goes first at 8:30 a.m., and the main Leprechaun Chase 5K (3.1 miles) follows at 9:00 a.m. The half-hour gap means parents can watch the kids' race and still make their own start.

Because the two events are so close together, this is a practical family morning as much as a race. Adults chasing a fast 5K should be careful not to let the early arrival eat into their warm-up: get ten minutes of jogging and a few strides in after the Wee Chase finishes. Training-wise, a month of regular easy running with one weekly set of short, fast repeats is plenty, and March in west Michigan is cool enough that you will want a throwaway layer at the start line.
