There was a lot of green, and a little huffing ‘n puffing, on the prairie Saturday.

The 4th annual Shamrock 5K, put on by the Central Whidbey Cooperative Preschool, sent runners out in droves, many of them wearing St. Patrick’s Day colors.

The photos above are a taste of what was happening, with the focus falling on the younger runners who opened things with a highly charged dash of their own.
