🍀While some folks might consider the number 13 to be unlucky, we think having Friday the 13th and St. Patrick's Day so close together is the perfect time to sign up for this year's Mountain Fork Half Marathon!
🍀After all, the number 13 is in our name and we think you'd be lucky to experience all the beautiful early fall views you get when running this race.
