ONE WEEK TO GO!!! Shamrock Schedule and Race Info

Wow! I can't BELIEVE it's only a week away! I hope yall are ready to Shake Your Shamrocks! Below is some important Team Groove info, feel free to join us at anytime and please don't hesitate to give us a call if you have any questions about packet-pickup, T-shirts, race times, post-party, whatever. Thank you EVERYONE for joining Team Groove, the support has been outstanding, we never expected to have such a large team! I want to especially thank those of you that signed up and unfortunately won't be running with us (due to work trips, deployment, injury, etc), many of you knew you might not be here but signed up anyway, thank you, you'll be with us in spirit!
Team Groove T-shirt pick up: We will have our own booth at the Expo where you will be picking up your race packet. You can come to our booth to receive your t-shirt and say hello! We also have a special little fund-raising activity at our booth that you won't want to miss seeing (involves a pull-up bar), so come check us out!
Post Race Party: Murphy's Irish Pub will be hosting our after-party from 3-5PM. They are located at 30th St. & Pacific Ave. at the Oceanfront. They have reserved their side-bar for us so we can all head over, share our race stories, and kick back with a pint or two! Beverages and light appetizers will be included. You may order full meals separately if you like. We will have some good raffle prizes to give out too, so please join us!
Team Groove Parking: If you are a local and have trouble finding parking on race morning, we have a place for you to park! Our kind and generous friend Scott Taylor owns Playa Rana Condominiums located at 304 28th St. (Between Pacific & Arctic Ave) and has given us the okay for any Team Groove members to park in their parking lot. You don't need a permit, sticker or anything. You will not get towed, I promise!
