St. Pat's Get to the Green Fun Run/Walk
It’s time to “get to the green” on Saturday, March 14, as local area runners and walkers alike will “lace up” to participate in the largest road race in the Midlands, the Annual St. Pat’s Get to the Green Fun Run/Walk. In its 13th year, this popular event will start at Maxcy Gregg Park, adjacent to the University of South Carolina (USC) campus, and finish on Devine Street at the festival entrance. The perennial 10K race begins at 7:30 a.m., the 5K race at 8 a.m. and the 1-Mile Family Fun Walk at 8:15 a.m. Event participants will chase the rainbows through the course to the pot of gold at the finish line. Participants of the 10K, 5K and 1-Mile Family Fun Walk will also receive free entry into the St. Pat's Five Points Festival ($15 value/children 12 and under are admitted for free with a guardian). All participating will receive a custom finisher's medal and other great awards, to include an award for the best dressed leprechaun. Parking will be available at three locations: the USC parking garage (gates 1 and 3) on the corner of Blossom and Bull streets, the ROTC building lot at 513 Pickens Street, and the Blatt Physical Education Center lot at 1328 Wheat Street.
Start Location: Maxcy Gregg Park: 1806 Blossom St., Columbia. For more information, including registration fees, call 803-600-1800, email [email protected] or visit GetToTheGreen.com.
