Another interesting themed event hatched just last year! And why the heck not? While St Patrick’s is in March this event is a half year warmup - so join us. We have the shirts, the snacks and the beer...you have your running shoes...the perfect combo. NOTE- the date of this event is actually "A Tad Past" the halfway mark to avoid another 5k in the area. FEATURES - *Our nice flat and scenic course from the iconic Little Pub location in Lordship (Stratford). *Quiet roads & great neighbors. *Adult Irish appropriate beverages after you’re done (N/a too) *A green shaded shirt with a logo yet to be determined *Snacks, post run nourishment, etc. *Awards for at least first place in eight age groups.
