A St. Patrick's Day Celebration...the Warrior Way!

St. Patrick’s Day weekend hosts hundreds of spring races all over the nation. Often the first weekend of enjoyable warm weather (at least for those of us in the north!), runners can jump start their running seasons with a race of their choice.  From 5K run/walks to full marathons, there is surely an event for everyone.  And green costumes are generally the requested attire – pull out that leprechaun gear and shamrocks!   

We have a large crew hitting NYC’s St. Patty’s Day celebration with the Half Marathon on Sunday the 18^th – please see Feb 28’s post!  We also have Team members who are going big and running the full Yuengling Shamrock Marathon on March 18.  Taking place in Virginia Beach, VA, this Shamrock Marathon is celebrating 40 years of Irish fun.  It’s needless to say that this race is hugely popular!  

Our Team Hope For The Warriors® jerseys will be seen amidst all the green (hopefully our Team members sport some green sweats, hats, socks...something to hold true to the spirit!).  We’d like to extend a huge shout out to Heather McNeil, Marlene English, and Donald Sills -- they are starting the marathon season early here in mid-March!  They made a good choice – hard to think of a more fun, light-hearted and celebratory marathon to start with :) 

Thank you Heather, Marlene, and Don -- we’ll be there with you in Irish spirit!!
