The Guinness® London St Patrick's Day Run 2026

London St Patrick's Day 5k!

Join us at the Lodge Cafe by Hyde Park Corner for the fifth annual London St Patrick's Day Run!

We will complete a social running 5k lap of the perimiter of the Serpentine in Hyde Park - following the trails closest to the Serpentine, keeping it always on your right - before returning to the Lodge Cafe.

We then follow on to a post run social at a nearby Irish themed bar. The pub is booked.

The event start time is planned around returning to settle down and watch the Six Nations Rugby Ireland v. Scotland match which is scheduled to kick off at 2:10pm.

A pint of Guinness is included in the ticket price redeemable at the Horse and Groom Belgravia pub (7 Groom Place, London, SW1X 7BA) only a short walk away & the closest pub to the Irish Embassy.

Great to be a part of the wider St Patrick's Day celebrations taking part in London.

Join in and be a part of the global international 'Sea of Green' celebration of Irish culture which goes on throughout St Patrick's Day!

It is not uncommon to see Emerald Isle celebrities on the startline, the pub afterwards, often both!

We are often joined by our friends at the Embassy of Ireland, whose building we pass on the way from the finish of the social run on our way to the pub.

There have a been a few marriages, countless friendships, and record amounts of Guinness consumed over the years - each time keeps getting better and it is great to have so many returning runners and supporters!

Ireland have never lost the Six Nations match they play on any day the London St Patricks Day Run has ever taken place - help keep up the tradition!

Reviews;

'Probably one of the best ways to bring in St Patrick's Day'

'Sort of like a Joe Wicks run but only with a pint of Guinness at the end and a bunch of friends to watch the rugby in the pub with too'

'I'm not Irish but I certainly felt it after taking part...a stand out experience - the perfect way to paint the town green'

'Part of the growing trend in St Patrick's Day events in and around London...and definitely one to get tickets to before it sells out, as it so often does…not uncommon to find yourself rubbing shoulders with an Emerald Isle celebrity on the startline.’

'With so many more now joining the event year on year it is amazing how the London St Patrick's Day Run still retains so much of its original 'hidden gem' charm - easily the best St Patrick's Day event outside of Ireland I have ever been to'
