St. Paddys Day 5K

St. Paddys Day 5K The Rotary Club of Naperville Sunrise hosts the annual 5K St Paddy's Day run/walk in downtown Naperville! Run for Downtown Naperville in 2021! The 2021 St.

Paddy’s Day 5K will be held as a virtual run. We have teamed up with Downtown Naperville to help promote the event and all registered runners will be registered to win gift cards to Downtown Naperville stores. Runners will be able to log their race time from 3/1/2021 – 3/31/2021. We want to keep the 5K run active for years to come, but more importantly we want to help supporting the stores that ma

ke Downtown Naperville great. Sign up today and support your city. Registration

Runners will receive a link to log their race time via email. Race participants will receive their swag bags via mail. All registered runners will be eligible to win gift cards to Downtown Naperville stores, including a “Golden Ticket” $100 Downtown Naperville gift card courtesy of the Downtown Naperville Alliance. A second “Golden Ticket” will include two $50 Athleta gifts cards. The DNA has donated 100 additional Downtown Gift Cards and several other merchants are donating gift cards, all of which will be randomly included in runner Swag Packets. Additional discounts and offers from downtown businesses will be listed on the Downtown Naperville website, redeemable through March by presenting a 2021 St. Patty’s Day 5K race bib. Check back often for additional offers

The top 3 Male and Female runners will receive awards of $150.00, $100.00, and $50.00 respectively. Participation in this event is a great way to join into the St. Paddy's Day Spirit.
