Rome-Floyd Parks and Recreation urges runners and walkers to register now for the Leprechaun-a-thon 5K and Health Walk, sponsored by Atrium Health Floyd and Harbin Clinic. The event is slated for Saturday, March 15th.
The cost to register is $30 for the 5K run and $25 for the walk, says Lindsey Jones, Recreation Services Manager. She adds that discounts are available to groups of 10 or more.
According to an event release from RFPR:
The USATF-certified race will begin at 6:30 p.m. on First Avenue near Bridgepoint Plaza, with a health walk following at 6:45 p.m. Participants will traverse portions of the Kingfisher Trail and levee trails before finishing on the pedestrian bridge near the Town Green and The Forum.
Race highlights include a pre-race costume contest with three exciting divisions: Littlest Leprechaun (ages 5 and under), Most Festive Leprechaun, and Best Leprechaun Group.
Special awards will be presented to top finishers in various age groups, including overall male and female winners, masters, and grandmasters categories.
The event promises post-race fun, including a vibrant bubble foam area on the Town Green and an awards ceremony at approximately 7:30 p.m. As a qualifier for the prestigious Peachtree Road Race, the Leprechaun-a-thon offers runners a chance to display their speed and spirit.
