A bustling crowd of 167 people, runners sporting leprechaun costumes, Irish kilts beer mug hats, and pretty much anything green showed up for Terrace’s first St. Patricks Day Run March 17.

It was the first run event organized by the new club, which started up again last July, and it included a large group of runners from Prince Rupert and several from Kitimat.
