Northern Light AR Gould Hospital and Northern Maine Community College are joining forces to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a Sneakers & Shamrocks 4K on Sunday, March 17. Playing off of the idea of the four-leaf clover in honor of the day, the distance to run or walk will be 4K and the registration cost will only by $4. Small four-leaf clover good luck “coins,” shamrock window clings, stickers, and St. Patrick Day pins will be available for all who take part, and those who cross the finish line will earn a pair of green shoe laces. In addition, a free one-day pass for the NMCC Smith Wellness Center will also be given to all participants. A special award will be presented to the best dressed person.
Registration begins at Noon on March 17 in the lobby area of the Smith Wellness Center at NMCC. The 4K run/walk begins at 1 pm, starting and ending on campus. The course travels around the Presque Isle Industrial Park and is fairly flat. Although money will not be collected until official registration on March 17, participants are encouraged to pre-register online at northernlighthealth.org/ARG so organizers will know how many people to expect.
