Marietta Shamrock Shuffle 5K
The Marietta Shamrock Shuffle is an annual non-profit road race held in Marietta, Georgia. The event is presented as the 11th annual edition taking place on March 20, 2027, and features a 5K course that begins in front of the Cobb County State Court Building and runs north on Cherokee Street. Proceeds benefit Marietta PAL, the local Police Athletic League chapter.
Organizers report a fundraising goal of $150,000 to support Marietta PAL’s youth sports and recreation programs. Marietta PAL serves nearly 400 youth annually and directs funds toward health, education, and cultural enrichment while aiming to reduce incidents of juvenile crime in the Cobb County area. The Marietta PAL chapter began in 2007 as a program to promote positive interaction between police officers and young people through sports and related activities.
The event program includes an 11th Annual "2nd Mile Memorial Celebration," described as an opportunity for the community to honor loved ones. Organizers also invite sponsorship and vendor participation, and they accept healthy snack donations, gift certificates, and prizes for giveaways. Volunteer opportunities are available through Marietta PAL. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
