About the Shamrock Run - Willoughby
The course runs through downtown Willoughby with a St. Patrick's Day theme that runners take seriously. Costumes are common, leprechaun hats and tutus included, so expect the field to look more like a parade than a road race. It is a run-walk event, and the atmosphere matches that.
Race-morning packet pickup is at the park where the race starts. After finishing, several bars and a coffee shop nearby are part of the post-race celebration, with a complimentary drink built into registration.
