Runners take part in last year’s Shamrock Shuffle. The annual event takes place just ahead of St. Patrick’s
Day and will have a few new bells and whistles for this year’s event.

The waters may not flow green but the only city on
Lake Cumberland will be overflowing with the spirit of
the Irish as the Somerset-Pulaski County Chamber of
Commerce hosts the 8th annual Shamrock Shuffle on
March 14, just ahead of St. Patrick’s Day.
The popular 5K race is set to kick off at 10 a.m. that
Saturday morning from Stonegate Shopping Center.
The Shuffle welcomes participants of all abilities
-- from walkers just beginning their fitness regimen to
seasoned running veterans. Professional chip timing is
used to ensure time accuracy.
