    THE HISTORY

    Our story begins in 2008. Irish Eyes had been operating in Milton for almost 2 years and was searching for a way to be more involved with this wonderful town. The Milton St. Patrick's Day Parade was born from this desire to give back to the town that welcomed us with open arms. We had a bit of a slow start....the first year we had only a dozen entries. We raised about $1000 for the Milton Fire Department and Casa San Francisco.

    Now here we are twelve years later and boy have we grown! This year we have three benefactors: The Milton Fire Department, The Milton Chamber of Commerce, the Women's Club of Milton. The 14th Annual Milton St. Patrick’s Day Parade included over 75 entries and combined with the 12th Annual Lucky Leprechaun 5K we were able to donate almost $20,000 to our benefactors. In 2020, the 5k had over 300 participants. In 2021 we were forced to take a year off. In 2022, we had 298 finishers, while in 2023, the event enjoyed the best year to date with a new record of 588 registered participants. We hosted 552 in 2024 and in 2025 a NEW EVENT RECORD OF 661. The key to our success has always been the wonderful support of the local businesses and residents. This year is no different! We know we can count on our community to participate again, so we hope to see you Sunday, March 8th at 11am for the 13th Annual Lucky Leprechaun 5K and at 2pm for the 18th Annual Milton St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

    AWARDS: Overall male and female, Masters, plus top 3 in 10 year age groups 13 under to 70 over.

    Note- In 2023 this event moved to 1 division, a 5K run, walk, skip, gallop, stroll…whatever you want to do to support a great charity, but we have one event of a 5K distance. Same goes for 2024 & 2025 & this year in 2026…one event - a 5K run/walk there is not a separate division for walkers, and there will not be awards given out to walkers. I am just trying to be very clear, so I do not have any issues as I’ve had in the past.

    ENTRY INFO: Make checks payable to “Irish Eyes Foundation.”

    Celebrate the weekend of World Down Syndrome Day with us through a morning of movement by the shore and an after-party as lively as our community is.

    We are thrilled to bring this annual race to one of our favorite spots: The Starboard! Join us at this amazing venue to celebrate the individuals in our community with Down syndrome, to raise awareness for our mission, and to support the programs, events, and resources we provide to our members throughout their entire lives.

    The proceeds of the 19th Annual Run for the Buds benefit the Down Syndrome Association of Delaware. The DSA of Delaware is a nonprofit organization that supports families, promotes community involvement, and encourages a lifetime of opportunities for people with Down syndrome. We envision a community in which individuals with Down syndrome are healthy, happy, and successful!
