RMHC's St. Patrick's Day 5K Presented by TAMKO Building Products

Saturday, March 15, 2025 | 9:00 a.m. | Downtown Joplin

Are you ready to run for a cause on St. Patrick’s Day Weekend? Put on your lucky shoes and join Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Four States for a FREE community event presented by TAMKO Building Products, LLC. 

This event isn’t just about running – it’s about community involvement and coming together to make a difference. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, or just looking for a fun way to spend your weekend, this 5K is for you! Bring your family, rally your co-workers, and let’s show our support for families with seriously ill children.

In lieu of a registration fee, we ask that participants make a donation to support our mission.  

Can't join us on the course?

Make a difference by volunteering your time at the St. Patrick’s Day 5K or making a donation online.

With hundreds of people joining us downtown, we need volunteers to help with set-up and clean-up, and to cheer our runners on to the Finish Line!

Every dollar counts and makes a tangible impact on the lives of those in need. Just $10 sponsors a one-night stay for a family, while a $70 donation covers a week – the average length of stay for our guests. 

Run for a Cause

Why run with us? Because every step you take helps keep families close to their seriously ill children during their time of need.

By donating, you help provide them with the comfort, support, and resources they need to stay strong for their child.  Your generosity ensures that families can focus on what matters most – being together.
