NEW THIS YEAR - IT'S VIRTUAL!

Here’s your chance to celebrate the holiday with members of your household and get some exercise outdoors! Once again presented in partnership with Fleet Feet Santa Rosa, and with proceeds benefiting the Santa Rosa Recreation & Parks Scholarship Fund, the annual St. Patrick’s Day 5K will be virtual this year! Run/walk a 5K at a time and place of your choosing between 3/13 - 3/21. Sample routes are available for those who are interested. All participants will receive cool gifts, such as a glass mug and a Shamrock medal that doubles as a bottle opener! Plus, participate in the virtual celebration and costume contest to connect with fellow 5k-ers and for a chance to win prizes donated by Fleet Feet!
