Tallahassee’s Killearn Estates neighborhood will be full of pedestrians this Saturday morning, March 2.
Killearn Methodist Church is holding its annual 5K and 1-mile event known as Shamrock Scurry.
“It’s just a great community time,” says event co-director Connie Clarke. “People like to get out. Usually, we have great weather. It’s starting to feel a little like springtime. People are excited to be outside.”
The outing includes a pancake breakfast and an awards ceremony.
Clarke says they anticipate having at least 800 runners and walkers. A high turnout is expected since the event has been designated as a Grand Prix, where participants can get points as part of the Gulf Winds Track Club.
The money raised will go toward mission outreach programs at the church, both international and local, like the church’s food bank.
Online registration is available here until Friday at 5 p.m. Participants can also register in person on race day.
Packet pickup happens Thursday from 4 – 7 p.m. and Friday from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.
