More than 2,000 runners are expected to take to the streets of Pacific Beach this weekend for the seventh annual San Diego Leprechaun Run on Saturday, March 15. The race begins at 912 Garnet Ave.., and the 5K run starts at 9 a.m. The Kids Mile run begins at 10:30 a.m.
The St. Patrick’s Day-themed event, which features a fast, fun, and flat 5K along with a Kids Mile, offers a scenic course through Pacific Beach, making it ideal for both first-time runners and competitive athletes.
