The Shamrock events are designed for the fitness enthusiast at every level and are truly a celebration of running! All the events begin on Atlantic Avenue at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront and run through the beautiful Virginia Beach resort area (on flat paved roads) and some of the city's nicest beachfront neighborhoods. Everyone returns to finish on the Virginia Beach Boardwalk in front of thousands of cheering fans. Besides being scenic, the courses are flat and fast; two World Records and many National records have been set on our course. USATF/RRCA sanctioned and certified.
