It’s such a fitting way to celebrate race weekend — especially as we take over the city on St. Patrick’s Day weekend.”

The giveaway is held in partnership with Toyota, the event’s presenting sponsor since 2024. The multi-year collaboration has helped elevate the participant experience and bring new, engaging elements to race weekend – including the annual Toyota giveaway.

“Toyota is proud to continue supporting an event that brings so much energy and togetherness to the Portland community,” said Russ Humberston Jr., president of the Pacific Northwest Toyota Dealers Association. “The Shamrock Half Marathon Run Fest reflects the spirit of celebration and connection that we value, and we’re thrilled to once again offer a new Toyota vehicle as part of the race weekend experience.”

Now in its 48^th year, the Shamrock Half Marathon Run Fest has become Portland’s largest running event, welcoming an estimated 19,000 participants on March 15, 2026. The race offers a variety of distances, including a half marathon, 8K, 5K, Stride Walk (4 miles) and the Doernbecher Leprechaun Lap kids run (0.4 miles).
