The Lucky Leprechaun Fun Run celebrates the origins of Saint Patrick's Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick, which is a cultural and religious celebration held on the 17th of March each year. The holiday has evolved into a world wide celebration of Irish culture with parades, special foods, music, dancing, drinking and a whole lot of green, so come on out and celebrate this great Irish tradition.

We will have Irish Band “Avourneen”, and Boulder’s “Mc Teggart Irish Dancers” keeping everyone entertained, and Savory Cuisines Catering will have a delicious Irish breakfast burrito for everyone to enjoy post race, along with a choice of Twisted Pine Brewing Company beer:

• Irish Red Ale

• Dublin Magic Nitro Stout

• Green Leprechaun (Mexican Lager)

“Twill” be a fine morning to celebrate, this side of the rainbow, so join your family and friends and dress up in your luckiest gear and join a sea of green running here in Boulder.
