Atlanta St. Patrick's Parade 5K Run/Walk

Atlanta St. Patrick's Parade 5K Run/Walk is run in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 13, 2027, starting at 9:30 AM. The single format is a 5K run or walk tied to the city's St. Patrick's parade, which supplies the crowds and the costumes.

Parade-day 5Ks mix serious runners with people out for the occasion, and the run/walk designation confirms that both are expected. If you want a time, get into position early and warm up before the field packs in, because passing becomes difficult once the streets fill. If you are here for the day rather than the clock, walk it and take in the surroundings — three miles goes by quickly in company. Either way, a 9:30 AM start allows a normal breakfast and no need to rush out of the house at dawn.
