Inaugural ShamRock & Run 5k in Downtown Statesville
Downtown Statesville Development Corporation is hosting the first annual ShamRock & Run 5k on March 18, 2023. The run takes place in beautiful and historic Statesville. The course is gorgeous and takes the runners on paved and winding roads in and around the most historic and charming parts of town. The start/finish line will be on West Broad Street near Mitchell College.
In addition to the 5k, there will be live, local music, and Andrea’s Sweet Shop will be serving her famous donuts and desserts as well as coffee and refreshing beverages. Even if you are not a participant, there will be plenty of entertainment while watching the runners finish the race.
The first 100 participants will receive a t-shirt and finisher medal with the unique Sham-Rock & Run logo. Awards will be given for the overall top finishers as well as the top runners in each age group. The race will begin at 8:00am with the awards being presented later in the morning.
The ShamRock and Run 5k is possible due to sponsorships by The Watering Hole, Jenkins Cleaners, and City of Statesville.
