_ The 2018 Leprechaun Dash 5K and Kids Fun Run:

The 2018 Leprechaun Dash is a family friendly celebration of St. Patrick's Day. This year's race will benefit The Downtown Willoughby Organization and the Community Grants Program. We will also be holding a "stuff the truck" event for local charities that support those in need. Bring clothing, shoes, or blankets to donate to help those that can use the items you no longer need.

Last year we had a little over 300 runners and walkers participate in the 5k and Kids Dash. We hope that you will help us surpass last year's total and bring your whole family to this great event!

This event is set up to have something for the whole family. The crowds really got into the festive spirit last year and came in their best St. Patrick's day attire. We will be looking to have the streets filled with kilts and plenty of green race shirts again this year!

Head over to Willoughby Brewing Company when you finish up your run for a drink, discounts on your food order, music, check your results, and the awards ceremony as they have welcomed us back for a second year.

The selfie contest continues to create some great pictures and fun for the event so of course we will be bringing that back. Make sure you are taking your selfies throughout the event and posting them in our Facebook Event page!

Event Fees:

5K: Early Bird $20 through 11/5; $25 through 1/14; $30 through 3/10 ; $35 on Race day 3/11
