Important Update for Pub Shuffle due to COVID-19: Event Postponed
Today, at 1pm, during Governor Walz’s “Declaration of a Peacetime State of Emergency ”, Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm laid out a recommendation of “community level strategies” to slow down and spread out the impact of the COVID-19 virus. A major piece of these strategies is the recommendation to cancel or postpone smaller events of less than 250 people where “social distancing” of at least 6 feet is not possible. A second major part of these strategies is to reduce prolonged contact between individuals of ten minutes or greater.
Based on these recommendations we have decided to postpone the Pub Shuffle to a later date.
The Pub Shuffle is unique in that it places many participants into a small space, inside, where social distancing of 6 feet is not possible for extended periods of time.
We know that our decision affects your weekend and future plans. Please know that we are doing this for the best interests of our participants and the greater Duluth community. We consider ourselves a health conscious business and we want to make sure we are doing our part to protect our community members.
We’ll stay in touch as to the future date of the 2020 Pub Shuffle once we’ve coordinated with the City of Duluth, Ursa Minor, Wild State, and Bent Paddle.
We appreciate your support and thank you for understanding.
Sincerely,
All of us at Duluth Running Co.
RUN. DRINK. RUN. DRINK. RUN. DRINK = THE PUB SHUFFLE!
Get ready for a super fun St. Patrick’s celebration run on Sunday, March 15th, 2020.
The Shamrock Pub Shuffle is a celebration of St. Patrick’s Day through the spirit of running and gathering at the local pub.
This year’s event brings an entirely new course and new pubs as we run through the Lincoln Park craft district. The 2.8 mile fun run begins next to Wild State Cider. Following mostly the cross city path (lakewalk extension) we run/walk together in waves to Bent Paddle first, then to Ursa Minor. At each of the first two stops you will have 15 minutes to grab a drink before your wave heads back to the finisher festival at Wild State Cider.
A portion of proceeds from this event go to benefit the Twin Ports Miracle League (501 C3).
This event is not a race. Costumes are welcome and encouraged! Put on your best green gear!
For just $20, you get entry into the event, a souvenir stainless steel glass.
This is an age 21 and up event.
Sorry, no refunds or transfers.

Wave Information:
During registration you will choose your desired pace and wave assignment. Choose a wave and pace that you are comfortable running/walking. Remember this is not a race. The goal is to have fun! Each wave will have approximately 50 to 75 people. We run (walk if in a walking wave) together as a group. Participants are required to stay behind the group leaders at all times and obey all traffic laws. We highly encourage
you to start and continue with the wave you are assigned to, so the event runs smooth. If you need to switch waves during the event, wait for the next at one of the first two pubs. All participants start from Wild State Cider.
You may switch into a different wave before the event starts on Sunday. So for instance, if you chose to be in wave 3 when registering, and all your friends are in wave 4, just go ahead and start with wave 4. We don’t need to know that you are switching waves. For our purposes, wave assignments simply allow us to have an approximate gauge on the numbers in each group so we can make this a more seamless event.
Below are wave and start times (Start at Wild State Cider):
- Wave 1 starts at 2:00pm: 9 min mile
- Wave 2 starts at 2:05pm: 10 min mile
- Wave 3 starts at 2:10pm: 10 min mile
- Wave 4 starts at 2:15pm: 11 min mile
- Wave 5 starts at 2:20pm: Walk
