Wild Irish Run

The Wild Irish Run is a celebrated running event in Guntersville, Alabama, marking its 46th anniversary in 2024. Originally known as the Lake Guntersville 10,000, the race has evolved to include both a 10K and a 5K course, both of which are USATF certified. The event takes place on the Saturday closest to Saint Patrick's Day, featuring a scenic route through downtown Guntersville and along Lake Guntersville.

Participants can compete for trophies and medals, with awards for the top finishers in various age divisions. The race is organized by the City of Guntersville Recreation Department. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
