The first of four St. Patrick’s Day themed O’races, the O’Shenanigans 5K starts and finishes outside Kinsmen Brewing Company, just steps from the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail.

This party of a road race is not to be missed – costumes always encouraged!
Swag includes St. Paddy’s themed drinkware. Participants 21+ (with ID) also enjoy an ice cold craft beer from Kinsmen Brewing and everyone re-fuels with fresh hot pizza from Sauced at Kinsmen.

I love these Paddy’s Day races. They’re very well organized, plenty of portolets, course support, food, and beer. Course was nice and flat with one water station. Volunteers and local police were at every intersection making sure runners were safe from cars, even though the roads were closed. There was a collection for non-perishable food for the local food bank too. At the finish, you got pizza and beer from the local pizza place and brewery, which was awesome. The brewery also had a live band. It was actually snowing during the race, but it was still fun.
