Costumes are encouraged, and prizes for First Male & First Female racer will be awarded.  Post-Race festivities include family fun activities, light fare, music and goody bags for both people and pets. You don’t have to run to have fun, come to cheer on your friends and learn more about the island’s shelter.

All proceeds will benefit the Nantucket Safe Harbor for Animals. We encourage participants to bring their dogs, with a suggested $5 “Leash Donation” for our furry participants.  Thank you to race organizer Christy Basset Baker for all her hard work and dedication to assisting animals in need.  There is a limit of participants so please register in advance.  It’s just $30 to register.  To sign up, visit www.active.com/nantucket-ma/running/distance-running-races/shamrock-run-2014.  For more details, send an email to  ShamRockRunAck@gmail.com
