The leprechauns were out St. Patrick’s Day for our Leprechaun Run. Over 200 runners showed up without the promise of green beer! If that’s not a testament to the fit community of Winston Salem then we’re not sure what is! The store was a sea of green as people milled around and met new friends while chatting with old familiars. The blarney shoe was out and several kissed the shoe though no one gets the gift of gab that Stacie has perfected, right No Boundaries participants?
Groups left on the cool summer night with smiles on their faces and came back kissed by leprechauns, a little more green to their cheeks! Some won prizes from our little pot of gold but everyone found their rainbow at the finish line. They knew that they could leave after the run and enjoy a guilt free Irish beverage, they’d already put the work in! Thanks to the running clubs and running/training groups that included this social run as part of their training! You guys ROCK!
Out next social run is planned for April 15th, get your taxes in then burn off that stress with your friends at Fleet Feet. We’ll be signing people up for the Race for The Cure team, if you don’t want to wait until tax day then go to our website http://www.fleetfeetwinston-salem.com/ and click on the pink ribbon to register! OUR team not only has an extra ULTRACOOL shirt but a BUS that takes you down to the starting line, can we say stress free?
Thanks to all the runners that came out in their green, to all the walkers that crossed that finish line and to all the customers that keep us here on the corner! May the luck of the Irish guide your Fleet Feet in your next endeavor!
