The Shamrock Shuffle 8k race and 5k walk will be held on March 30 and is the biggest 8k of the season with over 20,000 participants. Consequentially, it sold-out early as usual. No doubt last year’s beautiful weather has inspired a few people to come back. If you’re planning to run the Marathon later this year, the last 1/2 mile is the same so it’s fun to let your mind wander ahead to October when a million people will be cheering you on. If this is your first 8k, Hal Higdon has posted a specifically tailored training schedule.
