NTX Irish Festival Fun Run 2026

Run, cheer, and beer… Come join us Saturday, March 7, 2026 for a run around the grounds of the historic Fair Park in Dallas, TX and enjoy the traditions of the North Texas Irish Festival after the run with a free ticket in! Make this a tradition and join again this year.

All registered runners will receive a t-shirt, a “bottle opener” medal, one ticket to the North Texas Irish Festival, and two beer coupons for after the run if you are of legal drinking age. Juice available for those that are not.

Packet pick-up and gear check will be located inside of the Grand Place building at Fair Park and begins at 7am the day of the run. Restrooms and changing rooms will be on site. Parking from the City of Dallas is $15 per vehicle.

This double loop course will take you through parts of the park that some haven’t seen before. This fun run is not timed, put you can certainly do that if you want.

This year we added a 0k to the 5k. What does this mean? You can register for the 5K to run the course and get all the swag or you can opt for the 0K and not run and still get the swag. (You know swag, shirt, medal, festival ticket… and that is the beer too!)

Early bird fee of $25.00* / $20.00 will end January 24th, 2026
The regular fee of $35.00* / $30.00 will be from January 25th to February 22nd
Late fee / day off fee will be $45.00* / $40.00 from February 22nd to March 5th*

• Online registration closes on March 5th, walk ups may be available, but not guaranteed.

The fun run is produced the North Texas Irish Festival and Friends of Fair Park. All proceeds directly benefit the Southwest Celtic Music Association and Friends of Fair Park.
