St. Paddy's Day Run

Capturing the full day of races, from the pre-race fun to the final post-race celebrations of TCMA's season opener.

OVERVIEW

HYZE Films was brought on to cover TCMA's St. Paddy's Day Run, the season opener that kicks off their race calendar each year. The goal was simple: capture the event the way it actually felt, energy, crowd, sponsors, and vendors, and turn that into content TCMA could use to build momentum heading into their flagship marathon in May.

St. Paddy's Day Run - TCMA

Building a video presence from the ground up.

The Challenge

The St. Paddy's Day Run is TCMA's season opener: it sets the tone for everything after it, including their flagship marathon in May. The race delivers: strong logistics, a real community, vendors and sponsors who show up. The coverage didn't match it just yet. Static photos can't carry crowd energy, beer garden atmosphere, or vendor and sponsor presence, and without that, TCMA was leaving early registrations on the table for their biggest event of the year.

The Approach

  • Covered cheer zones, vendor areas, and the course live, working around the race instead of interrupting it.
  • Caught runners in the moment. Real reactions, not posed ones.
  • Built a 48-hour turnaround so the content landed while people were still talking about the race.

The Result

  • A 60-second hero recap showing scale, community, and vendor/sponsor value in one watch, an asset TCMA can hand straight to partners next season.
  • A runner-voice interview reel built for one job: turning spectators into next year's registrants.
  • Both delivered inside the window that actually matters, so the momentum didn't go to waste.

TCMA's season opener got the coverage it deserved, and it earned HYZE Films a return for their biggest event of the year: their flagship Tacoma City Marathon in May.
