Mystic Irish 5K
Are you ready to "shamrock and roll" this March? Come join us for our annual Mystic Irish 5K to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. This certified course and optional fun run travels along scenic River Road on the banks of the beautiful Mystic River. Show your lucky spirit by wearing your favorite costume or green gear!  To guarantee yourself a race shirt, sign up by Friday, March 8th at 4:00 p.m.   (Sorry, 2024 T-shirts are officially SOLD OUT.)

Race day registration is also available for $30. Race Day registration on Pearl Street opens at 8:30 a.m. and closes 15 minutes prior to start of race. Recommended parking at the Mystic Arts Center lot at 9 Water Street in Mystic. Regular rates apply, but are very reasonable.

This event is held rain or shine. Registration and race start/finish line are located at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, 15 Pearl Street, Mystic.
