About the Event

It's time to sham-rock-run! The Crete Community Runners Association is hosting our 3rd annual St. Patrick's themed fun run - the Running o' the Path! In conjunction with the Crete Park District, we will be running and walking the beautiful Crete Bike Trail! The path is approximately 2.7 miles - just under a 5k. We will begin the race at Lions Park and make our way down the trail and back.

NEW this year, we have a timer! Feel free to run, jog or walk at your own pace. Watch for surprises along the trail...you just might spot a leprechaun!

This is a FREE community event for all ages and paces. The CCRA will be collecting donations that will allow us to continue to provide FREE events to Crete and surrounding residents!

T-shirts are available for purchase!

This event is RAIN or SHINE! We will only cancel for unsafe weather conditions. Please keep checking the Facebook page for updates: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1698409503908853/

About Crete

Crete is the largest of the Greek islands and is the fifth largest in the Mediterranean Sea - after Sicily, Sardinia, Cyprus, and Corsica. It is located between the Sea of Crete and the Libyan Sea, south of the Peloponnese. It contains the southernmost city within the European continent, Ierapetra, which is only about 645 km (401 mi) from the coast of Libya. Crete is approximately 260 km (160 mi) long and 60 km (37 mi) wide. The island is divided into four prefectures: from west to east, Chania, Rethymnon, Heraklion, and Lasithi. Crete's population is approximately 650,000.
