Sham Rock 5k Greencastle

7th Annual Sham Rock 5k

Join the City of Greencastle for a ROCKING 5k in celebration of Saint Patrick's Day! This is a Saint Patrick's Day 5k you won't want to miss with:

• An amazing course that shows off Downtown Greencastle and DePauw
• Custom bibs for all athletes
• A rocking Sham Rock 5k t-shirt*
• A finisher beer for all 21 and over (We will be checking IDs for your post-race beer so remember to bring your ID if you want your beer!)
• Awesome Saint Patrick's Day overall and age group awards
• Disposable chip timing

*Our guaranteed t-shirt cutoff date is March 4th, 2026

The event will begin and end at our event host Almost Home Restaurant in Downtown Greencastle (17 W Franklin St, Greencastle, IN 46135). There is plenty of parking along the streets downtown for everyone attending the event!

Be sure to stay after the race for a fun community Saint Patrick's event after the race! This event raises funds for the Greencastle Music Fest!
