Five Counties Children’s Centre has the “luck of the Irish”as the charity benefitting from the St. Patty’s Day 5K Run and Walk downtown, just before the parade on March 17. The Sunday run attracts 250 participants each year and is viewed by everyone lined up to see the floats as they celebrate the Irish heritage on this region.
With the parade on the actual holiday next year, we are expecting larger crowds than usual in the event organized by the generous people at Runner’s Life. Organizers are looking forward to drawing runners decked out in green to the city core.
Come out and connect with your community and support a great cause.
The run begins at 1:30 p.m. and goes up George Street from the Memorial Centre to City Hall, then back again.
