The 15th Annual ShamRock Run (Official AJC Peachtree Road Race Qualifying Event) will take place on Saturday, March 13 in downtown Newnan.

The event is a charity run hosted by the Newnan Junior Service League and benefits Newnan-Coweta Habitat for Humanity. Over the past 25 years, NCHFH has constructed new homes, renovated and repaired existing homes, and contributed to projects that support local neighborhood revitalization efforts.

The ShamRock Run is three events – a 10K, 5K and Leprechaun Dash. The 10K course is for competitive runners, while the 5K and Leprechaun Dash is for the whole family.

The 5K and 10K race routes are both (NEW) USATF certified courses. The Leprechaun Dash will be 2 laps around the Courthouse Square. Walking and strollers are welcome for the 5K and the Leprechaun Dash. Orion Racing will professionally manage the finish line and use RFID chip timing to ensure the most accurate finish times possible. A flat screen TV will be on site to provide a live results feed. Results will be emailed to participants at the end of the race.
