There are two options for you when running this race:
Option 1: Frugal Frolic 5k:
Just run a normal 5k fasted one to finish wins the race. Immerse yourself in the spirited atmosphere of the Frugal Frolic 5k, where the Irish charm is palpable, and you won't need to part with your pot o' gold to chase your 5k dreams. Join us for an affordable yet unforgettable running experience that puts the emphasis on enjoyment, camaraderie, and a touch of Irish magic!
Option 2: Lucky Leprechauns Edition (Predicted your time)
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:
Before the race begins, each participant will predict their 5K finish 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.
Hit the course and enjoy the scenic route.
The winner will be the participant who finishes closest to their predicted time without going over. That’s right—it’s like racing meets a game of luck!
