St. Patrick’s Day isn’t just about food and drinks. Our final suggestion for St. Patty’s Day celebrations is the YMCA fun run at Julia Davis Park. Grab your green tights and join runners for healthy, family-friendly fun. The one-mile Leprechaun loop starts at 9:30 am and the 5K & 5Mile runs start at 10 am.
