About this race

Featuring live music and free raffles, this walk/run jigs and jogs past historic homes including the famous Octagon House. The event begins and ends by Watertown's newly remodeled public library and Bentzin Family Town Square. Come join over 500 walkers and runners celebrate spring and being Irish, if only for a day! After the event, participants are invited to walk over to Lyon's Pub for traditional Irish food and beverages. 

All proceeds for this non-profit event support teachers and classrooms in both public and private schools. Last year the event raised over $17,500.00 which in turn helped enable the Educational Foundation of Watertown distribute over $50,000.00 to local schools!
