5th Annual Leprechaun Chase Announcement

If you are ready for a challenge, join us for the 5th Annual Leprechaun Chase on St. Patrick’s Day weekend.

The Chase will once again be located on the beautiful trails of the St. Albans City Park.  The 5k run will begin at 9:00 a.m. as the Leprechaun receives a one minute head start.  Chasers will follow at 9:01.

Wear the green on March 16 as we run to help West Virginia students attend a college, university or trade school in the Mountain State.  The proceeds of the race will help students realize their educational goals as the money raised goes to the Almost Heaven Scholarship Fund.

Join us on March 16th at the St. Albans City Park for a great morning of chasing a Leprechaun, winning door prizes and helping West Virginia high school graduates attend a college or university in this state.

Questions may be emailed to Steve Hewitt at shewitt@starusafcu.com.
