West End St. Patrick’s 5K - 2026

The Lehigh Valley's most fun and festive race is back on March 22, 2026! Our 2026 race will again start at noon. Late registration will end March 17 -- St. Patrick's Day!  Break out your green gear and Irish spirit for the 16th running of the West End St. Patrick's 5k in Allentown. You'll enjoy a fast, flat, closed course with loads of people out to cheer you on in advance of the annual Allentown St. Patrick's Parade. While the course is perfect for a PR, it's also ideal for friends and family who simply want to come out and have a darn good time.  Usual amenities include Friday, Saturday and race-day bib pick up, indoor toilets at the start line, personalized bibs (if registered by February 22), digital clocks at miles 1 and 2, a fabulous post-race indoor lunch with cookies, five-year age group awards and prizes for the best outfits. Race shirts, socks and glassware are available for purchase. Thank you to our primary sponsors, St. Luke's University Health
