Shamrock Shuffle
media release: The 2024 Madison Shamrock Shuffle is back and this year, it is on the day before St. Patrick's Day! What a great way to kick off your St. Patrick's Day festivities in your favorite green outfit. AND UW students, you will be better able to join in the fun with your spring break being later in the month. There is a 25% off code for all students! The Shamrock Shuffle will start and finish on the 600 Block of State Street.
The Madison Shamrock Shuffle is a Madison favorite that happens close to St. Patrick's Day every year and is the first major race event of the year. No matter what the weather brings, thousands are dressed up to run in a timed 10K or 5K run or you can choose the untimed 5K walk option.
By participating in the Madison Shamrock Shuffle, you are helping to raise funds for Boys and Girls Clubs of Dane County that serve youth 2.5 to 24 years old. These funds are essential to continue and expand upon the programming for the Pre-School, After-School, In-School, and the McKenzie Regional Workforce Center. This will make a positive impact on youth in our community and help them find their pathway to a successful future. To date, this event has helped raise nearly $500,000! Thank you to all past & future participants!
