St. Patrick’s Day Dash

Now in its 36th year, the St. Patrick’s Day Dash continues to welcome spring for the Greater Seattle running community. Since 1985, we’ve seen plenty of changes. We’ve outlasted some of Seattle’s most recognizable landmarks. The St Patrick’s Day Dash was one of the first local run/walks on the Viaduct, and for 15 years, we finished at FX McRory’s in the shadow of the Kingdome. And now, all three are gone from the Seattle skyline. But, we have always started at Seattle Center, in the shadow of the Space Needle.

The St. Patrick’s Day Dash is a family tradition that attracts many generations.
