About the Watertown Jig Jog 5K
The route winds past historic homes in Watertown, including a famous octagon-shaped house, before returning to the public library and the town square out front. It is an Irish-themed event, so expect live music along the way and a crowd that skews more festive than focused on splits.
After the race, the group moves over to a nearby pub for Irish food and drinks. The proceeds go toward a local educational foundation that distributes funds to area schools, so the entry fee is doing something beyond covering race-day costs.
