Colorado St. Patrick’s Day Run – Green Through The Frost!
Racing Colorado
Need a break from the Winter gloom? This year it hasn’t been the snow as much as the wind that tries to take the fun out of training. Fortunately it’s time for our annual break in the gloom with a tip of the Irish derby to St. Patrick, patron saint of Springtime athletics. Although none are actually on St. Patrick’s day, some good options for a Colorado St. Patrick’s Day run include:
- Colorado Springs 5K On St. Patrick’s Day 3/14 – This is the 26th running of this classic St. Patrick’s Day run, and the first of the Colorado Springs Grand Prix of Running. A fast, simple course down Tejon St. They know how to put on a good race!
- Ft. Collins Sharin’ O’ The Green 3/14 – Another nice 5K in downtown. Partners Mentoring Youth has done a great job of developing this increasingly popular run. Weather should be great this year!
- Brush Annual St. Patrick’s 5K 3/14 – It’s always a great day in Brush! A good draw for our active friends on the plains.
- Denver Runnin’ of the Green Lucky 7k/2M Walk 3/15 – At a full 7K, this is the longest of Colorado’s St. Patrick’s Day runs. A fun LODO event and good fundraiser for Volunteers of America.
- Highlands Ranch St. Patrick’s Day 5K 3/21 – While the holiday may have passed, this run helps keep the spirit going.
I know what you’re thinking… “What? A holiday with no Wash Park run?” Blashemy! If you know of one, let us know.
Although weather is unpredictable this time of year, at this point it looks like a couple of great weekends to get out in a balmy 50 degrees or so, get in a good early season race, and help make sure the green shows through the frost. Don’t forget a nip o’ the Irish whiskey or green beer (or your favorite green sports drink) to cap off your celebration.
