In March, I participated in the 37th
annual St. Patrick's Day Road Race in Manhattan, Kansas. This walk and/or run
is the largest and oldest in Manhattan, Kansas, and benefits the Special
Olympics. For the last several years there were over 1,500+ participants at
each road race, and this year they added a timing chip from Manhattan Running
Company which gave everyone our results both at kiosks available onsite and
through social media apps. There are even awards and door prizes for the
participants. Additionally, Aggieville merchants organize and sponsor the St.
Patty's Day Parade following the event. A family can make an entire day of the
festivities.
I would suggest, give the run or walk a
try next year if you are close to Manhattan, Kansas. It's available to all age
groups, and each participant receives a St. Pat's Road Race t-shirt and a post
race BBQ! Go to http://universityextras.com/letsgorun.com/st-patricks-day-road-races and
take a look at race offerings either in Manhattan, Kansas, or in your area, and
help a worthy local organization.
