2023 Saint Fennessy 4K
Cold temperatures and blustery winds were no match for our participants' spirit at the 10th annual Saint Fennessy 4K in Hermantown!
One Decade Down!
The Saint Fennessy 4K is turning 10, and we want you to celebrate with us… St. Patrick’s day style, of course!
Get your green on and come out to Skyline Social & Games, which will be offering great food and drink specials throughout race day. PLUS, a post-race costume contest offers participants with the most St. Paddy’s Day spirit the chance at some lucky charms and a pot o’ gold!
The Saint Fennessy 4K celebrated its 10th year in style, with a record 744 participants signing up for the 2023 fun run in Hermantown.
A new racecourse, starting and finishing at Skyline Social & Games, was a welcome change and provided more time pre- and post-race for food, drink, and fun inside.
Even unseasonably cold temperatures and gusty winds couldn’t keep spirits down, as warm smiles coupled with green outfits dominated the day from start to finish.
