Shamrock Run set for March 14

The 31st annual Alliance Roofing Hilton Head Island Shamrock Run is scheduled for 8 a.m. Saturday, March 14, beginning at Celebration Park.

The festive 5K run and health walk will follow a flat course through the South Forest Beach area. Organizers encourage participants to wear green in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day weekend.

The annual event has become a holiday tradition on Hilton Head Island, combining fitness and community involvement. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Sunset Rotary Club of Hilton Head.

Awards will be given to the top three overall male and female finishers, as well as unique prizes for the top three finishers in each age category. In addition, runners who finish ahead of the event’s “Leprechaun” pacer — identified as the top 50 finishers — will receive a themed prize.

The 31st Annual Alliance Roofing Hilton Head Island Shamrock Run is presented by Hilton Head Island Builders and proudly sponsored by The Bank Beer Garden, Oak Advisors, Rollers Wine & Spirits, Tobin Bone & Joint, Skillets Café & Grill, Watusi Café, The Sand Bar Beach Eats, New York City Pizza, Captain Woody’s, and Courtyard by Marriott Hilton Head.
