Fields of Luck 5K
The Flower Fields in Carlsbad.
Where green meets bloom.
Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day weekend in full color at The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch. The Fields of Luck 5K is a limited-entry opportunity to run, walk, or stroll through one of San Diego’s most iconic spring destinations—right as the flowers reach peak bloom.
This isn’t your average 5K. You’ll wind through vibrant rows of ranunculus, take in sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, and experience The Flower Fields in a way few ever do—before the gates open to the public.
Dress in your favorite green, gold, or full St. Paddy’s flair and lean into the fun. Whether you’re chasing a PR, snapping photos, or soaking up the vibe with friends, this race is all about movement, music, color, and a little bit of luck.
Spots are limited—once they’re gone, they’re gone.
