Post Race Celebration

Join us after the race at the Columbia Club for live Irish entertainment by the band Second Fiddle. We will also announce the overall male/female winners in the run & walk and best male/female Irish race costumes. The Columbia Club will have $1 draft beer and there will be some small stations to purchase food. This does not replace the Rest and Recovery area outside at the race finish line. The event will still have free water and product as you finish the race. back to top
