Shamrock/St. Paddy’s 5k (scheduled before BR parade) also cancelled. Just got the email.

Dear Participant,

We are truly sorry to have to send out this email to inform you that The Wearin' of the Green 5K Shamrock Run has been postponed due to the coronavirus situation. The City of Baton Rouge has informed us this morning that all weekend events in the Baton Rouge area will be postponed until further notice.

The packet pickup for the race will go on today, Thursday, 3/12 from 10 am - 6 pm and tomorrow, Friday, 3/13 from 10 am - 2 pm at Varsity Sports located at 2055 Perkins Road, Baton Rouge. If you pickup your packet, be aware that you will use this same bib for the rescheduled race date.

We will be rescheduling the race just as soon as we are given the approval from the local government that it may be scheduled.

This is NOT a cancellation but a postponement and the Shamrock Run and 35th Wearin' of the Green Parade will happen in this calendar year.

More information will be communicated to you as soon as we receive a new event date.

Thank you!
