About the Shamrock Run 5K
The Kilt Run 5K winds through the residential communities of Ave Maria, starting and finishing at the Town Center. The area has a planned, walkable feel, with wide paths and a compact downtown core. Kilts are very much encouraged, and enough people show up wearing them that it reads as part of the morning rather than a novelty.
Packet pickup opens on race morning before the start, right at the Town Center. That central location makes logistics simple: you can park, pick up your bib, and be at the start line without much movement between the three.
