We are back for the 38th Annual Shamrock Shuffle!
We will start and end again at Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. 2nd Street at 9am. The routes will wind thru historic North Lawrence and Pinkney neighborhoods. All money raised from the Shamrock Shuffle will benefit the Douglas County children's charities selected in September by the Lawrence St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee.
Your registration includes a commemorative race day shirt, participation award, and an awesome Irish breakfast provided by Johnny’s North and your friends at the Lawrence St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee. Aid stations will be on the course approximately every 1.5 to 2 miles. Awards will be presented to the top three finishers in each age group, as well as overall male and female awards, overall Master male and female awards, and Super Masters in male and female.
