On Saturday, March 17, 2017, a sea of green will fill the streets of Downtown Joplin for the greatest Gaelic shindy this side of the Atlantic! Welcome to the 3rd Annual St. Patrick's Day 15K & 5K! Runners and walkers will get beaded along the course with strands of green beads and will receive an amazing custom medal with a satin, sublimated ribbon at the finish!  And, Yes, THE 15K MEDAL WILL BE LARGER THAN THE 5K MEDAL:-) All registrants receive a race shirt (women's cut runs small).  A pair of St. Patrick's Day socks are included in the 15K registration only.  And, as a reward for the miles covered, runners will enjoy a post race party with Irish music, beer, and snacks at JB's Palace Pizza. Post-race party sponsored by JB's.
