19th Annual Shamrock’n Race
5K, 7Mile, Half Marathon

Race Day, Sunday, March 15th, 2026

St. Patrick's Day themed race so feel free to dress up!

Route Highlights
This beautiful 21.1KM & 7 Mile course circles Burnaby Lake, giving you the opportunity to enjoy fresh air, exercise and more chances to view birds and animals in this wilderness environment. Join other walkers & runners on this scenic course throughout the trails of Burnaby Lake.

Located in the middle of the city, Burnaby Lake Regional Park is a stunning wildlife sanctuary. The lake was created by a glacier 12,000 years ago and its shores were home to sawmills in the late 1800's.

We race Burnaby Lake twice a year with annual races, Shamrock’n Race in March and the Rubber Ducky in October. The Shamrock’n Race 7 Mile and Half Marathon circle the lake clockwise and the Rubber Ducky 7 Mile and Half Marathon circle the lake counter clockwise.

Which way is faster for you?
