Naperville Sunrise Rotary Virtual St. Paddy’s Day 5K

The Rotary Club of Naperville Sunrise 2021 St. Paddy’s Day 5K will be held as a virtual run welcoming individual runners and families from age under 10 and up. The Club has teamed up with Downtown Naperville to support local restaurants and retailers.

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 (DNA). 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.

Runners will receive a link to log their race time via email from March 1 to March 31, 2021. Runners may run the traditional St. Paddy’s Day 5K route through Downtown Naperville or a 5K course of their own choice. All participant details are at www.stpaddysday5k.org.

St. Paddy’s Day Race results will be posted at the website after March 31, 2021.

Race participants will receive their Swag Packets via mail, which will include a men’s or women’s technical race shirt, run bib, St. Paddy’s Day beads, Downtown Naperville coupons, and the chance to receive randomly included gift cards donated by Downtown Merchants and the Downtown Naperville Alliance.

Additional discounts and offers from downtown businesses will be listed on the Downtown Naperville website, redeemable through March by presenting a 2021 St. Paddy’s Day 5K race bib. Check back often for additional offers. The top three Male and Female runners will receive awards of $150.00, $100.00, and $50.00 respectively. Top three male and female finishers in every age division will receive a commemorative award.  Costumed runners may email photos to run@napervillesunrise.org to be entered into the costume contest.
