Description

Feeling lucky? 

Join Us for Lynchburg's Only St. Patrick's Day Run – The St. Paddy's Day 5K!
The new start/finish line is located at DPO Grille, 10 9th Street, Lynchburg, VA 24504. This is a short walk from where our past event happened at Riverfront Park.
Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with an energetic 5K in downtown Lynchburg! The St. Paddy’s Day 5K, presented by Park View Community Mission, invites runners and walkers of all abilities to dress in festive green, enjoy lively camaraderie, all while giving back to our community. Proceeds benefit Park View Community Mission's Food for Thought program, helping to combat childhood food-insecurity across our region.
After crossing the finish line, join the post-race party at The Water Dog Restaurant, featuring live music starting at noon, adult beverages, and delicious food (weather permitting)!
