About the event

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day by joining us at Hickory Knob State Resort for the Leprechaun Leap 5K.  This race is open to all runners, joggers, walkers, dog walkers, or anyone who wants to get out and get some fresh air.  Whether you have run in a race before, or this is your first time, don't be afraid of the Leprechaun passing you. 

We will have race timing for all participants, but don't be nervous, this event is for all skill levels from first timers to competitive runners - everyone is invited.  This road race will be on the main road inside Hickory Knob, but the road shoulders are wide enough for runners who don't like paved surfaces.  The Leprechaun Leap starts at 10 AM on Saturday March 14, 2020.

Dress up in crazy clothing to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and have fun while we run through the park.  A special prize will be awarded for the most creative costume!

The cost to register for this 5K is $25 per person plus registration fees, and all proceeds will go towards trail improvements at Hickory Knob State Park Resort.  The cost includes your race T-shirt, free give away items, and a chance to win some cool prizes regardless of how fast you run.  For same day registration on Saturday March 14 the price increases to $30, cash only please.

Stick around after the race and enjoy the Irish themed menu at the Hickory Knob restaurant and even enjoy a glass of green beer!  Or play a round of golf, shoot some skeet, and enjoy the weekend at Hickory Knob State Park Resort.  Camping and lodging is available at a special reduced rate at Hickory Knob State Park Resort during the Leprechaun Leap 5K weekend.  Please visit  www.southcarolinaparks.com  or call 1-866-345-7275 to make reservations.  Use promo code  5KSAVE20  for a discount of 20% off when making your reservations for campsites, cabins or lodge rooms for the Leprechaun Leap 5K weekend.  Promo Code is valid only from March 13 through March 15, 2020 at Hickory Knob State Park Resort.
