St. Patrick's Day 5K
Celebrate the Irish holiday with fitness at the 3rd annual
St. Patrick's Day 5K. Then stick around to celebrate your 5K success at the
post-race celebration in Juilliard Park!
The race is chip-timed and open to all ages and
abilities. The route starts and finishes in Juilliard Park and travels through
the Prince Memorial Greenway. All participants receive a commemorative mug at
the finish line, which they can fill with an ice cold beer generously provided
by Third Street Aleworks or a root beer! (Please bring proper ID for beer
service.)
The post-run celebration includes a judged
costume contest presented by Wine Country Radio, live music from local band
Soup Sandwich, games for the kids, a photo booth, good eats for sale from local
food trucks and sponsor giveaways.
