The Leprechaun Chase 5K is hopping back into action in Chillicothe, Ohio, and the pots of gold (and good vibes) are calling!

Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 7, 2026, when Yoctangee Park transforms into the greenest starting line in Ross County. This beloved family-friendly 5K run/walk kicks off at 9:00 AM EST, giving everyone a chance to chase away the winter cobwebs with a shamrock-shakin' good time.

Lace up those lucky sneakers for a scenic road course through one of Chillicothe's prettiest parks—perfect for speedy leprechauns, casual walkers, stroller-pushers, and four-leaf-clover hunters of all ages. Expect plenty of Irish spirit: think festive costumes, themed awards for top finishers (and maybe best-dressed!), and that unbeatable post-race glow of accomplishment mixed with a touch of mischief.

Best of all? Proceeds support the Hope Clinic of Ross County, so every step you take helps make a real difference in the community.

Registration is already live and moving fast—early birds snag the $25 rate (before it hops up to $30 after the first 75 spots fill). Head over to RunSignup (search "Leprechaun Chase Chillicothe") to claim your bib before they're gone. Spots are limited, and you won't want to be left green with envy!

Whether you're hunting personal records, family fun, or just an excuse to wear your favorite shamrock socks, the Leprechaun Chase promises laughs, sweat, and maybe a little magic. Who's ready to catch that elusive finish-line rainbow?

See you at the start line—may the luck o' the Irish be with your legs! ☘️🏃‍♂️
