On Sunday, March 17, 2013, Len DeProspo will lead the group run for the fifth edition of the Shamrock Shuffle! Join us on a 6.5 mile running tour that will include the Irish Memorial, a statute of Commodore John Barry (Father of the American Navy and Philadelphia resident, born in Wexford), and a nod to Edmund Bacon (also Irish). We’ll swing by McDonald’s during the run for a refreshing pot of gold known as the Shamrock Shake, which supports a great cause ($0.25 of every Shamrock Shake goes to the Ronald McDonald House, which was founded in Philadelphia in 1974 to support families of patients at C.H.O.P.).
We leave at Front and South at 9 a.m. sharp. Feel free to dress in your St. Patrick’s Day best.
