Brief Description

The Tipp Hill Shamrock Run returns in 2011 for its 6th year, sporting a new look, but including those same great hills! We've certified a slightly altered 4-mile course, but never fear, you'll still be running past your favorite pubs and landmarks, including the world famous "green on top" traffic light. Live music along the route will keep you going! Kick off your St. Patricks Day celebration on a healthy note. Join us for an exhilarating run through historic Tipperary Hill!
