☘️🍺 Lace Up (or Not!) for the 4th Ever World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Zero K! 🍺☘️
Get ready to sprint, stroll, or saunter your way into St. Patrick’s Day weekend fun! The 4th Ever World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Zero K is back and better than ever, kicking off the festivities leading up to the First Ever 22nd Annual World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade® in downtown Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas!
🏃♂️ What’s the Deal? 🏃♀️
This “race” (if you can call it that!) covers a whopping 299 feet on Historic Bridge Street, the world’s shortest street in everyday use. You’ll start at one end and finish gloriously at O’Kelley’s Pub, the world’s biggest inflatable Irish popup pub. Yes, it’s a thing. And yes, it’s awesome.
🎶 Bonus Fun: Legendary ’70s rockers Grand Funk Railroad will bring the house down with a FREE concert at 8 PM on the Bridge Street Stage, the night before the big parade!
🍻 Details:
Date: Sunday, March 16, 2025
Packet Pickup: 2 PM at Bridge Street/Malvern
Race Start: 4 PM
FREE Concert: 8 PM
💚 What You Get:
For just $25, Zero K participants will snag:
-A coveted Zero K T-shirt
-A shiny finisher’s medal (because you’re a winner, duh)
