St. Patrick’s Day is a big day of celebration for many, and I can’t think of a better way to remind myself of the fortune to be healthy than with a race. If you’ll be out in The Dalles on Saturday, March 17th, check out the 2018 Jumpstart St Patrick’s Day River Run/Walk. You’ll have a 3k, a 5k, and a 10k to choose from, and you can run, jog, or walk.. So pick your poison!
The course for this race, which follows the Riverfront Trail, is an out and back loop, and it will take place on a beautiful paved trail described as “flat and fast” along the south bank of the Columbia River. The mile marks will lead the way and there will be a water stop for the 10k runners. Medals will go to the top 3 overall in each sex, and there will be ribbons to the top 3 in each category.
This event is co-sponsored by the Colonel Wright Athletic Department and the proceeds will help fund The Dalles District 21 Elementary Physical Education Programs.
The cost for this race is just $25 if you want a t-shirt, but shirts are only guaranteed to participants who register before Monday, February 19th. All District 21 Elementary (k-5) students are free!
