Small Race Preview: St. Pattie’s Shamrock Run 5k /10k in Sisters
and I thought it was a date misprint. But after checking it out, I am going to do my absolute best to hit up the St. Pattie’s Shamrock Run 5k /10k in Sisters at 6pm on Friday, March 14.
The race consists of a 5k and 10k course, run almost entirely on smooth single track with limited elevation gain. The [run] will take place at 6:00 PM…and begin/end at the Sisters Athletic Club. Upon finishing the event be sure to join us for a beer. So bring your best St. Pattie’s Day outfit and hope for the luck of the Irish as you spend your Friday night racing out in Sisters!
You can check out a large scale trail map here, as well as the 10k route and 5k route too. Awards will be given to top finishers and there will also be raffle prizes and a prize awarded to the wearer of the best holiday costume! Last year’s event saw 70 total runners, but count yours truly as a +1 this week (assuming work doesn’t get in the way). I always look for an excuse to stay in Central Oregon as long as I can, and here is one of the better ways to accomplish that!
