Participant Information
Registration for the events includes several amenities for participants. Runners receive a shirt, a custom finisher’s medal, and refreshments after the race. For adult participants, entry into the St. Pat’s Festival is also included with the registration fee. Children aged 12 and under can register for a reduced rate, though their registration does not include a festival wristband as they do not require a ticket for entry.

Age group awards are also distributed to the top three male and female participants in brackets ranging from 10 and under to 75 and older.
