The St. Patrick’s Day Pace-And-Pint fundraising run was in its 10th year, this year. In what many described as a “perfect day,” there were 150 participants out on the trails and pedestrian bridge - a full sellout, according to organizers from Reason 2 Run fitness store.

It started at the Mill Pub, crossed the river, then followed riverside trails for a total of five kms to raise money for charity. The green St. Patrick’s Day garb emphasized the green cash gathered this year for local sports programs. Cost to enter was $35 for the noncompetitive run/walk.
