Runnin’ of the Green

Hey all!  Sunday March 14th is the “Runnin’ of the Green” (ROTG). ROTG is a LUCKY 7K run/walk that is centered around the Irish Celebration of Saint Patricks’s Day and Spring. It takes place in downtown Denver (Lodo), starting at 17th & Wazee. It has been a Colorado charity event for 22 years and has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Volunteer of America. There is an after-run party which has been voted best post-race party by…I don’t know, someone…which is good enough for me! This combines two of my favorite things — exercise and beer.  YES, I personally despise running, but I’m much more OK with it when assured that there is beer at the finish.

OK, here’s their website.  Just FYI, the site (and this is a technical term) SUCKS, but I think it mostly gets the point across. http://www.rotg.org/index-2.html There is no mention of the details of the after-party, but Zach thinks there is at least SOME free beer to be had.  If not or if it runs out, we will forage for more beer in the wilds of Lodo.

Registration starts at 7am, the race starts at 10:30am, at 17th & Wazee, in front of McCormick’s Fish House and Bar.  Please let me know if you’re interested in participating, we’ll figure out a place to meet pre-/post-run.

I will be running in my vibrams.  Slowly.  Last time I ran in Lodo I was wearing a gorilla suit, so this will be a refreshing change.
