Challengers
The Shamrock Showdown 8K is the perfect distance for those who want a little more of a challenge than a 5K but don’t want to run that hill. This fast and flat course annually produces some incredible times.
The 8K is a great distance to push your limits - wether its just enough to have fun or if you are planning on flying.
