Out of an abundance of caution, the Atlanta St. Patrick’s Parade is cancelling this year’s event due to the growing concerns about the COVID – 19 virus. The safety and health of the community is our first priority.
Based on the recommendations from public health officials, we have made the difficult decision to also cancel the St. Patrick’s Day 5K.
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and are extremely disappointed about not hosting our festive event this year.
Unfortunately we cannot issue refunds as with the nature of these events almost everything is paid for well in advance of the event itself. We will have a virtual 5K and runners will be able to pick up t-shirt and finisher medal at Big Peach - Midtown starting next week. If you reside out of state we'll mail your shirt and medal to you. Stay tuned for more details.

Race will start and finish on Peachtree St. near 14th Ave. in front of Colony Square. Rain or shine!

CoronaVirus is of course on everybody's mind and we're taking the lead from the Parade organizers, which are in turn working with the city of Atlanta special events office. Both events, the Parade and 5K are still scheduled.
Again for this year, we are partnering with
Colony Square is excited to be hosting our fourth annual Luck of The Square celebration! At the top of the morning (10am), we will send and cheer on hundreds of St. Patrick's Day 5k runners/walkers where the race and starts and finishes at The Square.
