Description
It's time to sham-rock-run! The Crete Community Runners Association is hosting a St. Patrick's themed fun run - the Running o' the Path! In conjunction with the Crete Park District and in support of the Crete Park Pals, we will be running and walking the beautiful Crete Bike Trail! The path is approximately 2.7 miles - just under a 5k. We will begin the race at Lions Park and make our way down the trail and back. This is an untimed event, so feel free to run, jog or walk at your own pace. Watch for surprises along the trail...you just might spot a leprechaun!
This is a FREE community event for all ages and paces. The CCRA will be collecting donations that will be split 50/50 with the Crete Park District in support of Park Pals!
Please join us at our sponsor restaurant Smokey Jo's Craft Bar and Kitchen! after the run for food and drink specials - maybe even some green beer!* Smokey Jo's Specials: $5 Runners Bloody Mary & Mimosas until 12pm; $9 Shamrock Breakfast Special: 2 eggs, choice of meat & vegetables served with toast.
T-shirts are available for purchase, with all proceeds being split with the Park Pals!
This event is RAIN or SHINE! We will only cancel for unsafe weather conditions. Please keep checking the Facebook page for updates: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1698409503908853/
