Event summary
Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the highly anticipated "Race the Course 5K/10K: Leprechauns on the Links," taking place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at the stunning Makefield Highlands Golf Club in Morrisville, Bucks County. This exciting event, now in its fourth year, celebrates both fitness and community spirit while supporting accessibility initiatives for all at Lower Makefield Parks. Participants can choose from a scenic 10K (6.2 miles), a 5K (3.1 miles), or a family-friendly 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk, all set against the backdrop of the beautiful golf course that traces its history back to the early 1700s.
Join fellow runners and walkers as you traverse the unique cart paths of Makefield Highlands, where most golf courses don’t typically allow foot traffic. The 5K and 1-Mile course will primarily navigate the flatter front 9 holes, while the 10K will offer a more challenging experience, finishing on the undulating back 9. Don't forget to wear your St. Patrick's Day themed attire for even more fun! With custom race shirts for early registrants and medals for the first 200 paid

Organiser's Description
BACK ONCE AGAIN!!!
RACE THE COURSE 5K/10K
LEPRECHAUNS ON THE LINKS
SUPPORTING ACCESSIBILITY FOR ALL TO LMT PARKS
Back once again, join us for the 4th running of the Lower Makefield Township "Race the Course 5K & 10K" on Saturday, March 14th. This year just in time for St. Patty's Day. This event is open to all individuals and supports Lower Makefield Parks and Recreation in their continued goal to improve disability access to township parks for all individuals.
Unique about this event, it is run on the cart paths of the Makefield Highlands Golf Club in Yardley, PA. This is very special as most golf courses never allow runners or walkers on the course. If you have never played golf there, Makefield Highlands is a beautiful property residing on the former Pleasant Valley Estate Farm with history traced to the early eighteenth century.
The 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk will be contained mostly on the flatter front 9 holes of the golf course, while the 10K will start on the front 9 but finish on the back nine holes of the golf course which has a few more challenging hills.
All paying participants registered by March 1st will receive a custom designed Race the Course shirt in their preferred size and the first 200 paid registrations will also receive a custom designed Race the Course medal. Shirts are not guaranteed for those registering after March 1st. We will have a limited number of extra shirts while supplies last.
We encourage everyone to wear ST. PATRICK'S DAY THEMED ATTIRE.
