The Shamrock Run - Cottleville, Missouri - Running

The The Shamrock Run is a Running race in Cottleville, Missouri consisting of a 5K.

The Shamrock Run is a 7 kilometer race around Cottleville, MO. We also have a 2-Mile fun run option that is untimed and starts and ends in the same location. The race begins in front of the Cottleville Fire Station #1 and ends in Downtown Cottleville. Runners in the 7k race will receive a Fleet Feet RFID running bib. Registration in either run includes a commemorative tri-blend shirt and refreshments at the finish for runners over 21 years of age. The Cottleville Firefighters Outreach started a new St. Patrick's Day celebration that would grow to become the largest single-day event in St. Charles County. After the first year of this race and parade, the community formed a new organization to manage and develop this event. It became known as the Cottleville St. Patricks Day Parade and Run for the Helmet. We know that this event is important to our community and we see great potential in it. However, this event has struggled to maintain itself in recent years and in order for this event to be sustainable we had to make reasonable changes to its structure. We are also a different kind of organization, with family-centric values. Our new approach deserved a new name, and thus the Shamrock Run and Parade was established.
