St. Patrick's Day is a big celebration here in Raleigh and this 8 k race with post-race party is one of the best events all year!! We will meet at 2:30 for warm-up and socializing at the registration table on the right hand side as you face the table. If somehow we miss you, just run your own race and afterward call my cell at [masked]. We will meet up for post-race pints on the sidewalk out front of TirNaNog for a few minutes at 3:45 and then move inside ( depends a bit on the weather but bring a jacket or sweatshirt to wear after the run).
Note: You do not have to participate in the run to meet us for the post-race fun!!
