Additional Information

Active Fees
We are covering all of the Active fees for registrations processed online.

New Location
This year we have new location for the event with all races starting and finishing at Odell Brewery. After many years of holding the event at Library Park we had to find a new location due to the construction work that the library is currently undertaking and we are excited that we have been able to find a new venue close to the original site and within close proximity of the down town St Patrick’s Day parade. While sad to leave an old home, we are grateful to Odell for allowing us to use their facilities and excited about the possibility of being able to grow and expand the event to include music food and beverages and party activities throughout the morning. All runners over the age of 21 will be able to help celebrate the day with a free complimentary adult beverage courtesy of Odell Brewing Co. and a variety of other beverages will also be available.

Fundraising
Prizes are awarded to the top 3 fundraisers and top fundraising team. Visit the Race Fundraising page to get started or make a donation.

The top overall male and female finishers and masters runners will also receive awards, as well as the top finishing team. We will also award prizes to the largest and fastest teams.
