“Citizens Bank is proud to be the title sponsor of the Annual Shamrock Half Marathon, Relay, and Shuffle for the first time this year,” said Joe Carelli, President, Citizens Bank, New Hampshire and Vermont. “Not only is this an opportunity to get people to go outside during one of the state’s largest Saint Patrick celebrations, it also provides a great way to give back to two incredible community organizations, our friends at the American Red Cross of NH and VT, and Families in Transition New Horizons,” said Carelli.
With a spring snow storm in the forecast, Millennium Running, parade organizers, and city departments are prepared to produce the civic events as scheduled.
“Our team works closely with the City of Manchester municipal departments to ensure a safe and fun event for all participants and spectators,” stated John Mortimer of Millennium Running. “Jay Davini and his team at Department of Public Works are confident that the city streets will be safe for participants, parade goers, and motorists.”
