FYI Shamrock Shuffle Participants

  • If you are not doing the Shamrock Shuffle, follow the schedule.
  • If the Shamrock Shuffle is your primary event that you have been training for, congratulations, your big day is here!  Rest up on Saturday and we will see you bright and early on Sunday morning.
  • If you are doing the Shamrock Shuffle on Sunday AND are building mileage for another event we recommend that you split the distance between Saturday and Sunday.   Don't worry about not completing the mileage all in one day.  There is no detriment in your training to doing it this way, and in many cases it is actually beneficial.  This is one training out of many that you are completing to prepare yourself fully for your event.  No endurance event is made or broken by one training.  If you are a veteran half-marathoner or marathoner and are racing the Shamrock Shuffle with an all out effort, we realize you will not want to be doing long mileage on Saturday.  Speak with your coaches if you need help to modify your schedule. *Note you can also split mileage in a day....so you can complete your mileage later in the day on Sunday depending on how much fun you have a the post rast party!
  • We will be supporting the distances on the schedule on Saturday.  In order to make it less confusing with turnarounds, the following distances are suggestions for you depending on your event, assuming you will be doing 5 miles on Sunday.  
  • Shortly you will be receiving an email about the turnarounds and distances for the all team on Saturday.  Make sure to figure out the mileage you want to do on Saturday and know your turnaround!
