Welcome to Season 11 of the Flying Irish!

And we’re back!  It’s been a long 3 months and we can’t wait to get things started again this Thursday at Ripples at 6:00 PM.  We’ve got a lot of great stuff planned for 2016, and to kick things off, DJ Marathon will be in the house rocking the tunes, we’ll have a new featured brewery for the month of March with Ninkasi, free race entries to the St. Patty’s Day Five, cool swag to give away, and you can reconnect with all the friends you’ve been missing all winter long!  See you Thursday as We Run Spokane!

Sign-In Plan

It’s the start of another Flying Irish season and that means it’s time to sign the annual waiver.  Below is a handy diagram to find your sheet based on your last name if you ran with us in 2015.  If you did not run with the Flying Irish in 2015, you will need to sign the waiver that is just outside of the ballroom doors. Don’t worry; we still have all your previous runs recorded.

Featured Brewery-Ninkasi

Just like last year, we’ll be bringing in a new beer sponsor each month.  To start things off, Ninkasi will be our featured brewery for the month of March and will be giving away a ton of swag.  Not only that, but on March 31st, Ninkasi will be debuting a brand new beer; Beer Run IPA and they want the Flying Irish to test it out before it’s released to the public later this summer!

St. Patty’s Party on 3/17 and Parade on 3/12

Since we’re an Irish running club, St. Patrick’s Day is always a special holiday for us.  This year, our Annual St. Patty’s Day Party just happens to fall on St. Patrick’s Day!  Join us on March 17th as your friends from Negative Split will be in the house with music and lots of swag!

As in the past few years we will be marching in the St. Patty’s Day Parade on March 14th. Meet up at Ripples at 11:00 AM and join in as the Flying Irish march on Spokane!
