Florissant St. Patrick's Day 5K Run

Florissant St. Patrick's Day 5K Run is held in Florissant, Missouri, on March 14, 2027. The main event, the Florissant Shamrock Run/Walk, covers 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) and starts at 9:00 AM, preceded at 8:45 AM by the Leprechaun Dash, a kids' run for children eight and under.

The fifteen-minute gap between the two starts makes this an easy morning for a family: the youngest finish, and the adults go off almost immediately after. For the 5K itself, a month of running three or four times a week is enough to be ready, and adding one weekly session at hard-but-controlled effort is what sharpens a finish time. Warm up for ten minutes beforehand, because 3.1 miles is over quickly and there is no room to ease into the pace.
