If you’re up to it, you can help raise money for Arizona Relay for Life by taking the “Kiss Me I’m Irish” challenge! Run 1k on Friday night, then come back and run the Half Marathon, 8K or 4K on St Patrick’s Day, March 17th. You’ll get lots of bling – a medal for Friday, a medal for Saturday and an extra “challenge” medal.
In the true spirit of St. Patricks Day there will be post-race music until 11 am and plenty of food and beverage, including “Bundtinis” compliments of Nothing Bundt Cakes. The party continues at Westgate with an after-party at McFadden’s Restaurant & Saloon, and a Guinness for all!
