Participation and Activities
Participants are encouraged to wear green clothing or Irish-inspired costumes. A best-dressed contest is held as part of the festivities, with the winner receiving a gift card to a local business. The race is held rain or shine, provided conditions are safe for those involved.
Following the conclusion of the races, activities move inside the YMCA Camp for a post-race gathering. This includes refreshments and an awards ceremony. Medals and prizes are awarded to the top finishers within each designated age category. Registration is open to the general public and supports the YMCA's mission of building a healthier community.
