3/15/2026 - Curtis Park

As we reported earlier, the St. Patrick's Day Committee has recently announced that there will be no parade this year due to the ongoing construction at Armory Park and other factors. Since that time SAR has been looking into alternate locations to hold this event.

SAR is excited to announce we will hold this year's Desert Leprechaun race at Curtis Park. We are pleased to provide you with a safe, fast, tried and true 5K course that we've used multiple times for Dave's Run for ALS. We'll also have the traditional 1 Mile walk/run.

Our goal will be to keep this a St. Patrick's Day party, with a costume contest, lots of decorations, and St. Patrick's Day themed prizes. However, please note that the event will not have beer this year.

We definitely hope that the St. Patrick's Day Parade is back for 2027 and will keep you all updated on the status.

Also new this year, the 5K will be a part of The Running Shop SAR Grand Prix series!

Awards & Swag Include:
- The 5K will have male and female awards for Top 3 Overall, Top Masters, and Top 3 in 5 year age groups up to 80+. Awards will include Running Shop Gift Certificates and other St Paddy's Day themed goodies!
- All registrants get a really cool, super-soft t-shirt while supplies last.
- All 5K finishers will get a super-cool finisher medal.
- Costume contest with a special prize for the most fun costumes!
- Fun St. Patrick's Day related goodies for all!

Dave’s Run for ALS is a super-fun, family event for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities.

DAVE'S DOUBLE IS BACK THIS YEAR BY POPULAR DEMAND (run both the 8K and 5K and win a special prize)!!

The event is named for the late David Filer who was an avid runner, active SAR member, and local business owner. David was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, in the summer of 2000. Currently there is no cure for this fatal disease. A portion of the proceeds from the event will go specifically for ALS research, via the Jim Himelic foundation. Race distances are 8K and FitKidz and Family 1 Mile Run/Walk. Awards in the 8K in 5 year age groups.
