Holy Shamrocks Batman, it’s the second annual Shamrock Run and we need volunteers!

The 5K Kirkland Shamrock Run (www.kirklandshamrockrun.com) is Saturday, March 16 with an estimated 2,000-plus participants. It’s a fun, family event that allows everyone to “get their green on”!

In order to pull a race off of this magnitude, we need more than 100 volunteers and don’t have them – yet. Can you help? Here’s the direct link: volunteerkirkland.volunteermatrix.com/

We are offering several special benefits to volunteers, including free participant entry into Redmond Derby Days (second week of July) and/or the Mustache Dash (Nov. 16).

Thank you in advance for volunteering and passing this information on to any friend who might be interested as well. We can’t do this without our volunteers!

Nancy DeMond, Kirkland Downtown Association
