We’re excited to announce the addition of a Chicago venue to our 2016 Shamrock Beer Run! This event will be held Saturday, March 19 in the historic and beautiful downtown Arlington Heights area at Vail and Campbell Street. Expect to see a lot of green; that is, a lot of happy Irish-green decorated runners!
The run starts at 11am with a 5K run/walk complete with 5 beer stops, one at each 1K serving up 3 oz of craft beer so you’re sure not run out of thirst! Five craft breweries sponsoring the race will be present to provide samples for you to taste. 31 ounces of beer total!!
All participants will also receive a souvenir pint-glass & long-sleeve t-shirt with their registration. At the end of the run, participants will receive a commemorative finishers medal (which is also an awesome bottle opener with magnet) and pint of beer from the brewery of their choice. Additional beer tickets may be purchased at the finish area after the event.
Because this event serves alcohol, local laws and ordinances apply. Participation is limited to those who are 21 years of age or older. A valid proof of age ID will be required to receive a wrist band that signifies an approved participant.
We anticipate a large crowd so plan to come early to find parking and get checked in.
