Shamrocks and Shenanigans

Shamrocks and Shenanigans, will be a fun run/walk to remember!  It has something for everyone, which includes the same 5K walk/run as last year, and we have added a new 2.5K walk catergory for this year!

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 those registered by 6:00pm on March 3rd.  After this cutoff time, there may be limited mugs of candy available, on a first come first serve basis during race kit pickup, on race day.

For anyone who registers by 6:00pm on March 3rd, we will have a festive technical, long sleeve shirt and the first 150 registered, will also get a beer glass with your paid registration, along with 2 free beer tickets for those registered to participate, over the age of 19, who attend the event AND cross the finish line.   If you register after 6:00pm on March 3rd, 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, for all registrants, to verify your age to receive the beer tickets.  No beer tickets will be given to those registered under the age of 19.  

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.  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. The 5K course will be a double loop, and the 2.5K will be a single 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 throughout Kent and Lambton counties..
