This weekend

Thursday, March 13, 2008

Start celebrating St. Patrick’s Day early this year by participating in the 30th annual Westport St. Patrick’s Day Run. The four-mile run/walk begins at 4141 Pennsylvania Ave., Kansas City, Mo., on March 15 beginning at 10 a.m. Participants are encouraged to wear green or dress in a festive Irish costume. The contestants donning the most creative costumes will earn cash prizes. First place wins $100, second gets $70 and third place receives $30. The $26 registration fee benefits two local nonprofit organizations, Bacchus Foundation and Arts Incubator.

After the race, recharge with some food and drinks from McCoy’s, 4057 Pennsylvania Ave., Kansas City, Mo. All participants who have their race number will receive a discount at the restaurant.

Erin Beck, Kansas City Sports Commission and Foundation intern, says the event is a good way to kick off the weekend.

“It’s on Westport, so there are a lot of Irish bars. Also, a lot of the bars will be showing the Big 12 basketball games,” he says.
