St. Patrick's Runs Host Large Fields Despite Inclement Weather

(3-19-09) Over 20,000 participants and volunteers came together on Sunday, March 15 in downtown Portland to celebrate St. Patrick's Day (albeit early) at this year's Shamrock Run. This spring tradition provided rain, smiles, throngs of runners, beer and clam chowder - a true rite of passage in the Northwest marking the opening of the running season. A film crew was on hand at this year's event to capture the memories of rain and runners clad in green. Check it out - WATCH VIDEO HERE. Results - POSTED HERE.
