Chatham YMCA Leprechaun Dash 5K & 10K

Join this March for the annual Leprechaun Dash! This 5K/10K run raises money for youth-serving opportunities right here in Chatham County. On what will be a fun and challenging course, we’ll celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and raise money for children in Chatham County. Whether you’re tuning up for a spring half marathon like Tobacco Road or just want a good goal for a New Year’s Resolution, this race is for you. Prizes will be awarded for age groups as well as the best leprechaun attire. No matter what, don’t forget to wear green!

Beginning at the Chatham YMCA, you’ll race through the new Chatham Park where you’ll find a fast downhill finish. From the Chatham YMCA, you can easily walk to a number of downtown Pittsboro restaurants or breweries for lunch or brunch.

Want to walk either course? You’re welcome to! We plan to keep our timing set-up until at least 11 a.m. We just ask that you stay on sidewalks and cross the roads safely at crosswalks and street corners. We can not guarantee police presence past 10:30 a.m.

Stroller and pet policies: Baby strollers/joggers are permitted, but for the safety of all participants please start at the back behind the runners and walkers. Pets are not allowed on the racecourse.
