Shamrock Shuffle in Chicago, Illinois
 One of our very own WalkJogRun.net team members is running Bank of America's Chicago Shamrock Shuffle as her very first race! On Sunday, March 29, the run will begin down by the lake, continues through a portion of the Loop, and finishes back down by the lake. In case you haven't checked out the route already, here it is: Shamrock Shuffle route.
Dress in green and run one of these St. Patty's Day Races:
Poznan Half Marathon
 Also on March 29, 2009 is the Poznan Half Marathon in Poland. Race organizers have already mapped the route on WalkJogRun.net.
Poznan has many sites to see while running around the town. There are four lakes within city borders, the Gothic Cathedral, museums, and botanical gardens.
Adam's trip to Ireland
Adam and his wife had the luck of the Irish on their side when they won a trip to Ireland this March. They'll be staying in Dalkey (current residence of Bono and The Edge) from March 28 to April 6. So if you'd like to meet the brilliant creator of WalkJogRun.net and to get to know him (and he you) over a pint, drop Adam a line at Adam@WalkJogRun.net
Adam also has a 20-mile run planned during his trip. If you have any suggestions on where to go and sights to see during his run, let him know!
South by Southwest 2009
 In case you didn't know, we're kind of techies over here, so needless to say, we wish we were going to this year's SXSW. However, if you're going and want to meet fellow WJR users, you can ask around using our community page. If you get a group together, send us some of the details and we'll send you some fancy buttons with our logo on them so you can sport WJR pride.
If you get a little downtime away from all the fun, check out this 5-mile run downtown that was created by one of our users.
