Do you have an injury or scheduling conflict?

 Although race registrations are non-refundable, we understand issues come up.

 We now offer a complimentary Participant Event Transfer option through your RunSignUp account.

• This option is FREE and allows a runner to "gift" their race registration to another runner in the event they can no longer attend the race. 
• No exchange of payment can be accepted for transfers! You may not sell your bib.
• This can be done online anytime prior to the final packet pickup on Thursday, March 14.
• For more information follow: https://runsignup.com/How-To/Transfer-To-Another-Runner 

Even if you can no longer participate, you can still pick up your race swag at packet pickup!!

• Stop in and let us know you can no longer run - we will even have a finisher medal handy for you, to go along with the race shirt. 

All registered participants will receive a bib number and timing tag that must be worn on race day. Please do not alter the bib in any way.

The bib must be visible and worn on the outer most article of clothing the entire race. BibTag Timing chips will be adhered to the back of your bib.

Bib numbers and tags are non-transferable and must be worn by the registrant to whom they have been assigned.

 

Drink Ticket

To redeem, ticket must be on the bib. Tear it off at one of the participating West 6th bars (Dive Bar, Velvet Dog, The IVY and Barley House) and give to your bartender to get your shot of Jameson or Coors Light!

 

Not able to run, but want to be a part of the festivities and have a great time at the race? The Spectator Package of the Jameson Cleveland St. Patrick's Day Run has you covered! Come down to the race, cheer on the runners and have great time doing it as we lead up to the Cleveland St. Patrick's Day Parade. The package includes:
