Run Project invites Dallas runners and revelers to lace up for the 2026 St. Paddy’s Day Dash Down Greenville 5K, set for Saturday, March 14. The spirited race launches the city’s 45th Annual Dallas St. Patrick’s Parade & Festival, drawing thousands in emerald attire to the Lower Greenville corridor.

The fast, flat 5K begins at 8 a.m., with registration and packet pickup opening at 6:30 a.m. at Energy Square, 4925 Greenville Ave. Participants may choose timed or untimed options and will run the official parade route before floats roll, cheered on by early spectators.

Festivities include bagpipes at the start line, a 21+ beer garden and music from DJ Dame. Post-race fun features the annual Spirit Tutu Contest and Donut Hole Eating Contest. Proceeds benefit North Texas nonprofits, including Animal Rescue Crusaders of North Texas and Girls on the Run DFW.

Each runner receives a commemorative race shirt and 2026 finisher medal. With large crowds expected, attendees are encouraged to ride Dallas Area Rapid Transit to Lovers Lane or Park Lane stations.
