Held on 14–15 March 2026, Shamrock’n Weekend turns West Sacramento into a green-and-gold running celebration built around four distances: Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, and the Kids’ Leprechaun Dash (½ mile). Saturday hosts the shorter races and kids’ dash, while Sunday is dedicated to the half marathon, with start and finish centered at Sutter Health Park for an easy event-hub vibe. The courses are road-based and fast, using flat, runnable pavement around the riverfront and nearby neighborhoods—ideal for both first-timers and runners chasing a strong spring time. A popular add-on is the Double Header, where participants combine the 5K or 10K on Saturday with the Half Marathon on Sunday for extra bragging rights.
