🥇 Course and Festivities

Break out your green gear and Irish spirit for the 15th 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.

🏅 Amenities

• Bib Pick Up: Available Friday, Saturday, and race day
• Facilities: Indoor toilets at the start line
• Personalized Bibs: Available if registered by February 23
• Post-Race Lunch: Fabulous indoor lunch with cookies

👕 Merchandise

In addition to shirts and glassware, we are selling custom West End St. Patrick's 5k socks this year to commemorate our 15th anniversary. Sales of shirts and glassware close February 23: sock sales close March 16. Please note: shirts, glassware or socks are not included with your entry. We will have extra merch available for sale after the race.

🎟️ Registration

Thank you to our primary sponsors, St. Luke's University Health Network, Muhlenberg College, and QNB. Discount codes for $5 off are available if you are part of the St. Luke's, Muhlenberg, and QNB families.

Don't wait too long -- this race will close on March 16 or 900 runners, whichever comes first.

🏃 Race Time Requirements

You must be able to finish the 5k in 1 hour and 20 minutes, meaning you can complete the race with a brisk walk. Anyone slower risks getting trampled by bagpipe bands on 19th Street at 1 p.m. That’s no way to go.
