Running season kicks off with the first Shamrock Shuffle since 2019: ‘There was great competition out there’

Tai Dinger, a member with the Wisconsin Runner Racing Team, was the first to cross the finish line, with a time of 22 minutes and 56 seconds.

Roughly 20,000 runners as young as 8 put their sneakers on Sunday to run in the first Shamrock Shuffle since 2019 due to COVID-19.

Each year, the Shamrock Shuffle, the world’s largest timed 8-kilometer race, starts and finishes in Chicago’s Grant Park with a course that is 4.97 miles long. For the women, Natasha Rogers was the first to cross the finish line, in 25 minutes and 30 seconds, the release stated. “The energy that runners poured into the streets brought this city to life in a way that we’ve all been missing over the past two years. I am grateful to the Chicago area running community for their endurance, their hope and their everlasting love of this sport and this race,” Pinkowski said.
