Race T-Shirt:
The t-shirt deadline is March 1st! Wearing the green race t-shirt is compulsory, so get in by March 1st and receive a technical t-shirt. After March 1st you will receive a chaffing, heavy, slow, cotton t-shirt that you are still required to wear so get in quick! Customized Bib: Register by March 1st and receive a customized bib number. Baggage Check:
You can check a bag at the start and it will be transported to the finish line for you! No transportation will be provided back to the start so be prepared. Finish line parking is available at the Home Depot Parking Lot. You can walk run on the sidewalks back to the start and enjoy the parade floats along the way but you MUST NOT RUN ON GEORGE STREET on your way back to the start, this will interfere with the parade and look bad on the race.

Hello, this is Dave from Runner’s Life and the St. Patrick’s 5k

I’m sorry to share the unfortunate news that the St. Patrick’s 5k is canceled. All participants have been refunded and your donations will be passed on to Rite to Heel and I will be matching your donations dollar for dollar.
If you’d like your donation refunded please reach out and I’m happy to do so.

The free skate is still on, 2-4pm at the PMC, please come out and enjoy it.

I’m still trying to make sense of what’s happened. Over the past 7 days the city has canceled my permit, re-issued my permit and last night at an emergency meeting canceled it again. Throughout the process I was never consulted, never asked for clarification, never contacted.

The one thing everyone can agree on is that any city staff involved in this process are wildly incompetent. Either that or vengeful, I imagine it’s a bit of both.

Almost had it, emergency council meeting last night for 3hrs. and lost the vote 6-5.

If you want to hear the long form on what happened you can check out the video.

Thanks for all the outpouring of support, it's much appreciated.
