I-rish I Were Running
With a sell out crowd since its conception in 2010, the Four Courts Four is a local ?must run? with a post-race party second to none in the DC area.
Hosted by our friends at Ireland?s Four Courts Pub, this challenging course finds food, friends, and a bit of liquid courage at the end of the rainbow. Don?t forget our awesome tech tees, chip timing, and of course points for the Pacers Events 2012 Race Series.
Challenge our Pacers leprechaun, Ireland?s native son Robbie Wade, to a showdown on Wilson Boulevard. He?ll start behind you and will do his best to run you down. If you beat Robbie you?ll win a cool prize. If Robbie beats you, well he?ll probably play a few tricks on you until you buy him a Guinness (and we?ll donate a dollar for each leaped runner to the Arlington County Police Benevolent Fund).

Party like you're Irish!
What good is a four mile race without a wee bit of liquid refreshment and entertainment after your morning effort?
Our friends at Ireland's Four Courts sure know how to party, with Irish dancers, live music, and the friendliest bartenders this side of County Waterford.
By far the best post-race party in all the land!
