INFORMATION

Race Directors Report, March 2012

Despite all the forecasts for terrible weather, it turned out to be a great day for running. All told, the 2012 Shamrock Run tallied just under 500 participants. Congratulations to everyone for a great effort, and especially to our overall winners, Michael Mebel @ 19:02 and Anna McBride @ 19:02 in the 5K and Paul Sherman @ 37:25 and Viviana Dina @ 40:35 in the 10K.

2012 was indeed a very special year for the Shamrock Run. In remembrance of Coach Daric Beiter, the beloved Track Coach from Davie County High School, St. Francis was proud to introduce the 1st Annual Daric Beiter Memorial Cup. Each year the names of the top male and female 5 K finisher from Davie High School will be engraved on the cup. It was only fitting that this year’s winners were the overall winner’s of the 5K Run, Michael Mebel and Anna McBride. Congratulations to both Michael and Anna.

Special recognition goes out to the Hiller Insurance Agency and Nationwide Insurance who sponsored the purchase of the Daric Beiter Memorial Cup. Thank you Matt Hiller for your support of the Shamrock Run.

I would also like to recognize Davie Hospital who registered sixteen employees in our Corporate Challenge. Congratulations to everyone who participated and looking forward to seeing you all next year.

Just after the awards ceremony, I was honored to present a check in the amount of $1,000 to The Advocacy Center of Davie County, our designated charity for 2012. The Advocacy Center is a wonderful and caring organization that supports the Davie County Community in time of need. It was indeed a pleasure working with Sylvia Steel this year.

Our sincere appreciation and gratitude is extended to all our sponsors in the business community.  Without your leadership and commitment to community, the Shamrock Run would not be possible. I would like to especially thank Carolyn McManamy and the Davie County Chamber of Commerce for all your support and guidance.

Last, but not least, I wish to thank all our volunteers and support staff that help make this event a tremendous success, not only for St. Francis, but all of Davie County.

Hoping to see you all next year at the 25th Annual Shamrock Run,

Paul Nice
Race Director

The Shamrock Run and Walk 5k & 10K courses are both USATF Certified through the heart of historic and scenic downtown Mocksville!

2011 was another RECORD SETTING turnout for the Shamrock Run!  In anticipation for yet another banner year, we are going with the more advanced chip system through "Lee Timing" for better accuracy and logging of runners crossing the finish line and for quicker results FOR YOU!

A big THANK YOU to all who participated, sponsored and volunteered last year!  With your help, we were able to reach our goal to support Hospice & Palliative Care of Davie County in the amount of $1,000!!!
