Running in a sea of green to celebrate St. Patrick's Day
By MINGYUAN SONG | March 17, 2023Hopefully, it is not boring to see my name on yet another piece about a running event because, this time, there is a celebratory twist! Growing up as an immigrant and coming from the West Coast, St. Patrick’s Day usually meant cluelessly going to school and getting pinched on the arm for my lack of green apparel. That’s where the holiday ended for me. So, this past Sunday, the Shamrock 5K and St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Baltimore was the first time I’d seen this festival in its full glory. Honestly, I was quite excited for it — I’d heard it’s a big deal on the East Coast.
