Race Date: March 21, 2010

Kick off the running season with the Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle 8K, Chicago's traditional rite of spring for runners and fitness enthusiasts, featuring the world's largest timed 8K (4.97-mile) run. The course starts and finishes in Grant Park, and travels through Chicago's "Loop," including a mile-long stretch on famed State St. Then, celebrate your run, walk or the arrival of spring in Chicago at the Shamrock Shuffle Post-Race Party. The celebration follows the conclusion of the run and walk in Grant Park, and features live musical entertainment and food and beverages or all participants, family, friends and spectators.
