March 15 – Tacoma
This race usually has cold weather conditions, but whoa! A nasty wind greeted the runners on their return from their respective out and back distance. What a stoic group of runners we had this year. The 5k group was almost identical in size as last year varying only by 9 finishers. Runners love this race. They love to take over downtown Tacoma in celebration of St Paddy’s Day, shutting down Pacific Avenue at 9th and Shuster Parkway to old town. What a celebration! Half marathoners go all the way to Point Ruston and back.

This was the 7th race in the Ambassador Series. Judy Fisher and Kent Sizer are leading the way with perfect scores of 80 points in the competition.
