Option 2: Lucky Leprechauns Edition
Get ready to dash with a dash of luck! The Frugal Frolic 5K: Lucky Leprechauns Edition is the most unpredictable race of the season! Embrace the spirit of St. Patrick's Day and test your timing skills as you chase the pot of gold at the finish line. But here’s the twist: speed alone won’t win you this race—precision will!
How It Works:
At registration, each participant will predict their 5K finish time, runners will have until March 1st to change that time if needed just email us your name and new time. No watches, phones, or timing devices are allowed during the race—it’s all about trusting your inner leprechaun! If you wear a watch, it must be covered at all times, if you are caught looking at the watch you will not be counted as a finisher.
