The Children’s Museum, Seattle partners with F5 St. Patrick’s Day Dash

Seattle, WA (February 5, 2010) – The Children’s Museum, Seattle has partnered with the F5 St. Patrick’s Day Dash to bring additional family fun to this annual event. Encouraging families to find ways to get healthy, the Museum will be hosting 2 practice runs to help kids prepare to participate in the Leprechaun Lap on March 13th.

The practice runs give children ages 3 to 10 years old the opportunity to run around International Fountain, earning prizes and building stamina along the way. Families interested in getting healthy and join in the Dash on March 13th can sign up for the free practice runs at the Museum. Pre-registration is required at thechildrensmuseum.org/leprechaun-lap.

The Leprechaun Lap is run shortly before the annual St. Patrick’s Day Dash and allows kids to run (or ride in a stroller) along a shortened race route. Getting to experience the excitement of the starting line, kids race to a finish line near The Children’s Museum, Seattle. Families are then welcome to enter the Museum for activities and St. Patrick’s Day themed projects while the larger St. Patrick’s Day Dash gets underway. A Nanny for U and Clif Bar are also sponsoring this event.
