Where can I park?
Parking can be difficult, as it always is downtown. There are various paid lots, and street parking around the route, a good resource is
https://lexpark.org/find-parking/
or
https://en.parkopedia.com/parking/lexington_ky/
*Note- Main Street, Upper, and Short Street will all be closed at 6am, so plan your route accordingly.
How does chip timing work?
Each bib has a chip attached that tracks when you, as an individual, cross the start and finish line. So if you start at the back of the pack, and it takes you 30 seconds to cross the official start line, your time is not affected. Each runner has a chip that counts towards their own time, the "clock" starts and stops when you cross the start and finish line.
What is the time I must be finished by?
All runners will be required to be off the streets at 10am, if you do not finish the race by 9:45am, we cannot guarantee you will have a completed time. If you think you will need any special assistance or needs, please contact Info@shamrockshuffle3k.com
Can I register day-of?
While you can register day-of on the website, we ask that you would consider registering beforehand, to allow for us to know numbers earlier and allow for day-of packet pickup to go smoother.
