Michelob ULTRA St. Patrick's Day Parade Run 2021

Short review

The great tradition of the Michelob ULTRA St. Patrick's Day Run as a rite of spring will go on in 2021!

We are planning the 43rd Annual Michelob ULTRA St. Patrick's Day Parade Run with the goal of "returning to the streets" on Saturday, March 13, 2021. We are working with the City of St. Louis Parks and Recreation Department to host an in-person event following the City's Public Health and Safety Guidance. The plan is for the St. Patrick's Day Parade Run 2021 to be a hybrid event with both in-person and virtual participation options.

The Live 5K (3.1 Miles) Run

Local officials have authorized a live (in-person) run in Forest Park for the morning of March 13th.  The event has a maximum capacity of 500.  The in-person run has sold out.  Please note that the run start will be staggered to achieve social distancing.  Consider registering for the Virtual 5 Mile Run or the 43 Mile Challenge. 

The Virtual 5 Mile Run    

For those wishing to run the traditional 5 mile distance a virtual option is also available.  Run anywhere, any time between March 13 and March 31.  Self-submit your results and compare your run with other St. Patrick's Day Run traditionalists.

The 43 Mile Challenge

In celebration of our 43rd year, we are presenting an additional Virtual Challenge!  Runners will be able to run anywhere, any distance, any time between March 13 and March 31 to reach 43 cumulative miles, an average of 2.25 miles/day.  Self-submit your results for each segment you run..

The St. Louis Metropolitan St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Run Committee is a 501[c]3, all-volunteer charitable organization which – thanks to the support of our sponsors and thousands of runners like you - has raised tens of thousands for St. Louis area charities over the past 42 Runs.  We appreciate your continued support.
