NEW THIS YEAR!

RIVER’S (LITTLE) RUNNERS 

This is for pre-k/elementary aged children who would like to train for and participate in the Shamrock Final Mile on Saturday, March 15th 2025. For this race, kids will train (on their own or with their parent) to complete 1 mile while fundraising for the River’s Runners team! This is a fun way to teach kids the importance of physical activity AND giving back to their local community. We will have a pizza party in the weeks leading up to the race so that kids can get their t-shirts and receive recognition for all their hard work.

Additional info for the parents of our LITTLE RUNNERS!

Here’s what to do:

Go here to register your child for the little River’s Runners team. You will receive a confirmation email and a link to setup your child fundraising page to share.

– You will receive a discount code in your confirmation email in order to register for the Final Mile for FREE on the Shamrock Marathon website.

– Once you receive a code, go to the Shamrock Marathon Website and register for the Final Mile. When registering your child for the Final Mile, please select “other” for school and write in “River’s Runners.” This way, all of our little runners will be put in the same corral.
