Marietta Shamrock Shuffle 5K

Description

The Marietta Police Athletic League (PAL) cordially invites you to participate as a Runner or Sponsor (or both) in the eleventh annual Marietta Shamrock Shuffle 5K. This event will raise money to support Marietta PAL’s Youth Sports, Recreation and Education Programs, which serve school-aged area youth, many of whom could not otherwise afford to participate in such programs. The event will be held on Saturday, March 20, 2027, live and in person on The Square in Marietta, GA.  The event will include prizes for St. Patrick’s Day themed costume contests for the most convincing leprechaun and top qualifier awards.

*Again this year, the Marietta Shamrock Shuffle is pleased to announce the 2nd Mile of the race will be designated the “Memorial Mile of Celebration!” This will consist of registering “In Memory Of” teams to run in honor of those we’ve loved and lost.  Then during the race, from Mile Marker 1 to Mile Marker 2, everyone will be encouraged to celebrate the lives of their loved ones with cheers, chants, and salutes in motion!

To join in the “Memorial Mile of Celebration” and launch your “In Memory of” Team:  

1.      When registering, simply create your “In Memory of” Team!

2.      Then share the link to encourage family and friends to join your team, dress up and coordinate for the Memorial Mile of Celebration.  Be sure to share your “team name” for easy registration.

“In Memory of” teams who register 25 or more members by February 14th will have your loved one’s name added to the Shamrock Shuffle souvenir race shirt and receive special memorial wristbands!

Proceeds

Proceeds will benefit the Marietta Police Athletic League. Marietta PAL’s target population consists of youth who reside within the City of Marietta and Cobb County. PAL currently serves more than 500 youth annually through existing sports, recreation, mentoring, arts and education programs.
