Austin has a new 5K, one that’s in sync with St. Patrick’s Day.

Pacelli Catholic Schools will hold the Shamrockin’ 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, March 14. Over 140 runners are already registered for the race, which will begin and end at Pacelli High School.

The race will begin at 2 p.m., with a one-mile fun run/walk for those that want it. There will be a chipped race by Record Pace Timing, and the results will be online after the race.

For preregistered runners, the swag bag and packet pickup will be Friday night from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and Saturday from 12 to 1:30 p.m. Free childcare is provided for runners.

There will be awards in many age groups after the race at 3:30 p.m., and a post race party at the B&J with food specials. Participants may get a free beverage after the race at the B&J with a bib, and there will be entertainment for all ages.

Registrations will be taken up until 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
