Leprechaun Chase 10k - Ashland

Leprechaun Chase 10k - Ashland is a 10K (6.2 miles) held in Ashland, Nebraska, in Cass County, on March 6, 2027. The format is what makes it distinctive: the women's field starts first, and the men set off afterward with the job of chasing them down. The overall winner takes home a green jacket along with a special prize, and a Green Beer After Party follows the finish, with a free drink for participants.

The chase format changes how you race. Starting in the first wave, you have a head start to defend and every reason to run honestly from the gun rather than sitting in; starting behind, you are pacing against a gap instead of a clock. Either way, 6.2 miles rewards a controlled first two miles. A month of running four times a week, including one tempo effort of 20 minutes, will have you ready for it.
