On March 7th, 2010, NORSA member Adam, along with newcomers Amanda and Nam, strapped on their running shoes to participate in downtown Raleigh's St. Patty's Day Run Green 8K. Sponsored by local Irish Pub Tir Na Nog (which is getting quite involved in the Raleigh running scene - sponsoring many races and hosting its Monday night Nog Run Club), this road race featured approximately 2,500 competitors and a mildly rolly course which took the runners through the residential neighborhoods immediately east of downtown.
Starting and finishing in front of Tir Na Nog in Moore Square, the runners were treated to bag pipes, green race shirts, an Irish rock band, and free pints and glasses - the usual post-race shenanigans that follow most road-running races sponsored by Irish Pubs that take place around St. Patrick's Day. The temperatures warmed up to the 60's with sunny skies, striking a wonderful balance between cool running and warm post-race shenanigizing.
Here are the results:
