The 14th Annual People's St Paddy's Day Fun/Run/Walk & Roll 2026
The 14th Annual People’s St. Paddy’s Day Fun Run, Walk & Roll takes place on March 15, 2026 in Winnipeg and returns for its fourteenth year as a neighbourhood St. Patrick’s Day tradition. Held in the Lord Roberts area, the event brings together local runners, walkers and families for a short-course morning of activity that coincides with mid‑March community programming.
The event offers three distances to suit different ages and abilities: a 5K, a longer 5‑mile option, and a 1K Kids' Run. All races start from Lord Roberts Community Centre with a single morning start time at 9:15 a.m., letting families and volunteers gather at the community hub before the courses head out into nearby streets and sidewalks.
What sets this event apart is its neighbourhood, community-first feel and explicit inclusion of walkers and participants using wheels — reflected in the “Walk & Roll” name. The short kids’ distance puts young children on a manageable course close to the community centre, while the 5K and 5‑mile options give adults a choice between a brisk training effort and a slightly longer outing. Local volunteers oversee the event and a community-centre start/finish keeps pre- and post-race logistics compact and family friendly.
For questions about registration, start lists or race-day procedures, the event contact is listed on the official event notice. Runners planning to attend should consult the event contact to confirm current entry details and any participant guidelines.
