🌟 The 2025 Shamrock Marathon Weekend was truly unforgettable, and it wouldn’t have been complete without the @operationsmile Shamrock Final Mile! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💚 The energy was absolutely electric as thousands of students from 100+ schools took over the Virginia Beach Boardwalk to run their final mile and cross that finish line! 🎉

Each year, J&A Racing presents donations to the schools with the most participation - with these year introducing small and large school categories. These funds are used to purchase new PE equipment, encouraging more students to stay active 💪

2nd: Norfolk Collegiate - 42% (98 students)
3rd: Corporate Landing - 33% (124 students)

The Starting Strides’ program provides scholarsh

The Starting Strides’ program provides scholarships to schools with economically disadvantaged communities to help eliminate the barriers that prevent students from running the @operationsmile Shamrock Final Mile, like running shoes and transportation.

All of this cannot be done without the support we receive from our Starting Strides’ Sponsors: @murphysvb @adp @hakuapp @wolcottriversgates @dominionenergy @otf.hilltop @alwaysadvancing_ @virginianaturalgas @lovatoelectric Anthem @woodsrogers.law @bags.buddies Amy Johnson, The Cooper Family, Tom & Joanne Markley, Pat and Cathy Bowler

And a big thank you to Mike from @runningetc for visiting 17 schools to measure the feet of 803 students!

Congratulations to Jerry on his first-place finish

Congratulations to Jerry on his first-place finish at the 2025 @yuenglingbeer Shamrock Marathon — for the 2nd year in a row! Not only did Jerry defend his title, but he also shaved nearly a full minute off his time.

"This was my 18th marathon, and I wasn't going to do it since it was my 3rd marathon in 4.5 months but since I won last year and I had fun I was like, yeah I'll go back! Really glad I did. The hype during the race is a ton of fun. Winning was/is always cool, especially in front of my wife and daughter."

Staci joined us from Florida to take home the title of first place female finisher of the 2025 @yuenglingbeer Shamrock Marathon AND a PR!

"For me, this is not an individual success, it’s the success of a team of people that have supported me in varying ways to achieve my goals...winning the first place female finisher feels really great and has energized me in setting new goals to chase!"

David Zion Gregory claimed victory in this year's

David Zion Gregory claimed victory in this year's Anthem Shamrock Half Marathon, adding another impressive win to his resume after taking first in the 2022 TowneBank Shamrock 8K!

“Winning the Shamrock ½ was meaningful to me being from Virginia Beach as it has always been one of the premier to-do events in this area running related or not. It was cool to represent our local community generally and running community in that kind of way here at our biggest local hometown race. There were many people I knew around before the race, during, on the sides, and at the end which made it easy to feel well supported.”
