Shamrock Shuffle

Share























As the result of a long lasting flu, I didn't run in this race. However, I did help set up the race course with Race Day Events-putting out cones, measuring the mileage etc. I also got some great photos of the race. The Best part of this race is the bagpipers who play before the race and on the gigantic hill that runners must climb.
It was a beautiful spring Wisconsin day. Sunny and about 60 degrees. The race turnout was huge (see photos) and everyone seemed to enjoy the course and weather. The race course includes a nice climb up Observatory Drive about one mile in and again just before the finish.
A post race party was held at State Street brats with most people prefering the outside dining areas to get some early spring sun.
