Celtic Music Association benefits from fun run

From Staff Reports

Run, cheer and beer … Come join the North Texas Irish Festival on Saturday, March 7 for a run around the grounds of the historic Fair Park in Dallas and enjoy the traditions of the North Texas Irish Festival after the run with a free ticket in! Make this a tradition and join again this year.

All registered runners will receive a T-shirt, a “bottle opener” medal, one ticket to the North Texas Irish Festival and two beer coupons for after the run (must be of legal drinking age). Juice will be available for those who are not.

Packet pick-up and gear check will be located inside of the Grand Place building at Fair Park and begins at 7 a.m. the day of the run. Restrooms and changing rooms will be on site. Free parking all registered runners who arrive before 9 a.m.

This double loop course will take runners through parts of the park that some haven’t seen before. This fun run is not timed, but participants can certainly do that if they want.

This year, a 0k to the 5k has been added. What does this mean? Visitors can register for the 5K to run the course and get all the swag or they can opt for the 0K and not run and still get the swag. 

Online registration closes on March 5th, walk ups may be available, but not guaranteed.

The fun run is produced the North Texas Irish Festival and Friends of Fair Park. All proceeds directly benefit the Southwest Celtic Music Association and Friends of Fair Park. The festival runs March 6-8. Fair Park is located at 3809 Grand Ave. in Dallas. Visit NTIF.org for more details.
