Ras na hEireann 5k Foot Race: March 16th in Davis Square

[cemeterygates.livejournal.com]

Ras na hEireann is an Irish 5k race and celebration of traditions dating back centuries - and simply a celebration of spring in Somerville. Everyone (not just those of Irish decent!) is invited, all runners and walkers, to celebrate life, the coming of spring, and to enjoy a memorable race and St. Patrick’s Day celebration on March 16th at 11am in Davis Square!

I'm not affiliated with the event (I'm not even Irish!), but I am running and helping spread the word because I think it will be a good time.

The official website with extensive information and registration (limited to 2500 runners and filling fast!) is here.

A FaceBook community that I put up to coordinate with other racers is here.

I ran this last year and had a great time. Be sure to stick around afterwards for free food and drink from many Davis Square establishments.

It's a great event and the OP is right: you totally don't have to be Irish!
