Dash for Paddy’s Pint
Everyone thinks their pub is the best, and the F5 St. Patrick’s Day Dash is putting that to a test of speed and agility. Irish pubs around the area are encouraged to pick one representative to “Dash for Paddy’s Pint”. You’ll start just before the Red Wave and prove, like all good bar/restaurant staff, that you can weave your way through the crowd to deliver your order, or cross the finish line. Imagine the glory of standing on the F5 Main Stage to accept the award for the fastest Paddy at the Dash! Talk to your local pub or contact us at info@stpatsdash.com for registration information.
