The Leprechaun Chase 10k is a St. Patty’s Day run with a twist, where ladies get a head start and the guys chase them.

The Chase

Starting in the first wave, the ladies will have 5 ½ minute head start before the guys “chaser wave” begins. The lasses and lads run through a scenic 10k course passing. First runner to cross the finish line, lad or lass, will win. If a lass wins all of the ladies get a free drink at the after-party, but if a guy wins all of the lads get a free drink at the after-party.

Green Beer After Party and Award Ceremony

Green beer will be served at the after-party. Here the winning wave will relish in their free drink and the losing side will have to dream of next year. Overall winners and age group winners will also be recognized for fleet feet.

Best Dressed Lasses and Lads

Everyone is encouraged to wear green the day of the race, or as the age-old tradition goes you may just get pinched. In addition to wearing green, St. Patty themed attire is strongly encouraged and the best dressed will be recognized and rewarded at the green beer after party.
