Welcoming spring and celebrating all-things-green, Seattle’s St. Patrick’s Day Dash is one of the city’s liveliest annual races. Expect to find plenty of strollers in a sea of 15,000 runners participating in the annual race. Kids already itching to dress up for Halloween will love this run, featuring racers in all sorts of Irish-themed costumes, from long and lean leprechauns to wobbly pots of gold. Just for kids ten and under, the half-mile Leprechaun Lap starts bright and early, at 8:00 am. Awards are presented for “Best Decorated Stroller” and “Best Young Leprechaun” at 9:30 am, so be sure to stick around for after-race festivities!
