Though it has been an unusual summer, we are happy to announce a RESCHEDULED race for the IrishFest 5k.  This years event will look different than in years past, but we are excited at what we have to offer.  In trying to keep the experience in line with our past events, we are teaming up with Hayden High School and their Rock the Lot event.
