2008 Westport St. Patrick’s Day Run
The Westport St. Patrick’s Day Run, the 30th Annual holding of the event, takes place on Saturday March 15, 2008 at 20:00 10am.
It’s not a 5K, it’s a 4-mile event, and 3,000 runners and walkers are expected.
It starts and finishes right by Westport Rd. & Pennsylvania Ave in Kansas City, MO. You are encouraged to wear green and other wacky Irish stuff. Wear apricot I say, that’s wacky as a representation of Irishness.
Basic individual entry is $18, but there are cheaper prices for certain cases - see the online registration form. Late-Entry is $26.
A Fun Run for Kids will take place on Pennsylvania Avenue, just north of the finish line area and Westport Road at about 11:15am - whenever the main event is over. Entry for the kids’ thing is $7 or, if you’re late, $10 and you get at-shirt and gift-bag as well as getting to run the 40-70 yards.
All the info you could ever want on the deal is on Sports KC.
The event is run in partnership with Bacchus Foundation benefiting Arts Incubator. And I’ve posted it on my Kansas City Irish Events calendar.
