Shamrocks and Shenanigans, will be a fun run/walk to remember! It has something for everyone!
For the wee folk, we have added a kids and candy division for those 12 and under. It is only $10.00 and the participants receive a mug of candy.
For anyone who registers by 6:00pm on March 5th, we will have a festive technical, long sleeve shirt and a beer glass to hand out with your paid registration, along with 2 free beer tickets for those over the age of 19, who cross the finish line. If you register after 6:00pm on March 5th, and you are over the age of 19, you will only receive 2 free beer tickets, upon crossing the finish line, and of course a free meal! Photo ID will be required to verify your age to receive the beer tickets.
Prior to the race, we will have coffee, tea, and other snacks available. Post race, we will be serving Irish stew and biscuits to all participants. For those not of legal drinking age, and those not wanting a beer, we will have coffee, tea, Root Beer, and other non-alcoholic beverage choices available.
This will be a chip timed event with separate walking and running divisions. No post race prizes, however completion of the race will give you bragging rights of being Irish for a day, and a cold beer or two. Parking is available on site and the course will be a double loop through the "VLA" neighbourhood in Wallaceburg, which is near the hall. Route map below.
All proceeds from this event support our Youth Program which is in local schools.
