A Global Run To Celebrate St Patrick’s Day

The Global Craic 10K is a simple, inclusive participation event designed to bring people together to celebrate St Patrick’s Day wherever they are in the world.

Participants run or walk 10 kilometres anywhere they choose and take part during the event window between 14–22 March 2026.

There is no race, no competition, and no pressure — just a shared global celebration of Irish community and participation. Hosted at craic.run, the event brings together Irish communities and friends of Ireland from every corner of the world.
