San Antonio Shamrock Shuffle
The San Antonio Shamrock Shuffle takes place at Martin Luther King Park in San Antonio, Texas. This athletic event is centered around a St. Patrick's Day theme and features a well-marked course through the park area. The event coordinates multiple running distances to accommodate different age groups and preferences.
The available race distances include:
- 5 km (3.11 miles)
- 1 km Kid's Run
Participants in the 5 km event who complete the course receive a finisher medal and a race shirt, provided they meet specific registration deadlines. The event includes a competitive element with awards for overall male and female winners, masters categories, and various age groups ranging from 1-14 to 70 and over. Real shamrocks are utilized for the awards. Evaluation for these prizes requires the use of timing chips.
The post-race environment features refreshments such as snacks and green beer for participants. The event also hosts a costume contest where runners are encouraged to wear festive attire. Packet pickup is organized at a local running store in the days leading up to the event, with a final pickup option available at the park on the morning of the race. Registration fees are non-refundable, and the event does not allow for participant transfers once registered. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
