JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – One of the largest events in Jamestown was cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19.

Now, Runnin O’ The Green committee members are tentatively planning the 2021 event.

Runnin O’ The Green has been held annually in Jamestown for 41 years, bringing in hundreds of participants to the Irish-themed pub crawl. The event has also raised thousands of dollars for local cancer patients and Elk’s Camp Grassick.

After cancelling the 2020 run, the committee has been discussing how to move forward in planning a return in 2021.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has caused us all to make the difficult decision to cancel and/or postpone business meetings, family reunions, conferences, and other events not just within our community, state but nationwide,” the committee states. “Amidst the widespread disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, nonprofit organizations like ourselves must make difficult decisions on whether to cancel or postpone.”

At this time, the committee has decided to set a stand-by status before moving forward, postponing, or cancelling the run.

“We ask that you all stay safe and healthy so our decision making won’t become a difficult decision for all our leprechauns so we can have a happy and healthy 2021 event,” the committee added.
