This will be a community wide 5K and fun run to benefit and support the Mount Holly Middle School PTO and Ida Rankin PTA.
On March 21, 2026, the streets of Mt. Holly are about to be swarmed with the St. Patrick's Day themed attire. Get out your most fun and/or embarrassing, awe inspiring St. Patrick's garments and join us in downtown Mt. Holly. The Mount Holly Middle School and Rankin Elementary Shamrock Shuffle 5k and Leprechaun Leap 2K are produced through a collaboration of the Mount Holly Middle School PTO and Rankin Elementary PTA to raise funds to support the awesome students and staff at Mount Holly Middle School and Rankin Elementary. We would love to have you join us to support our PTO and PTA – feel free to hit the 5k or 2k course in as much green as you can find. Festive costuming or not, we can’t wait to see everyone’s smiling faces as they cross the Finish Line.
The Shamrock Shuffle 5k is a timed event and our awards structure will be as follows:
The Leprechaun Leap 2k is an untimed event with no awards.
Please park at Mt. Holly Middle School (124 S. Hawthorne St., Mt. Holly, NC 28120) and it will be a short walk across the street to the event.
This course is run on public roadways in restricted lanes and sidewalks and does include some good hills! Strollers are welcome.
