Grab Your Green and Go Irish with Reebok



St. Patrick's Day is celebrated all over the world (St. Patty's Day is celebrated on the space station as well!) and everyone chooses to celebrate this green holiday quite differently — while some are running from pub to pub, others are out racing green across finish lines.
According to RunningInTheUSA.com, there are 497 St. Patrick's Day themed races to be run across the country this year




Whether you're running in one of the many Shamrock Shuffles, Leprechaun Leaps or Green Legs and Hamstrings (I promise that is a real event name) races this St. Patrick's Day, Reebok is ready to dress you in the latest emerald isle colored sport/active wear! Snag a new pair of flashy lime running shoes, or maybe a new kelly green tee and show off some Irish pride as you streak green across that finish line!

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day Around the World



Learn all about the many St. Patty's Day Celebrations Around The World
Sponsored by Little Passports


Did you know that...

St. Patrick's Day began as a holiday in honor a man named St. Patrick who did great work in Ireland during the late 5th Century. Throughout the years, St. Patrick's Day has become more of a day to simply celebrate being Irish. Traditional symbols of the holiday include shamrocks, Leprechauns, and of course, wearing the color green!

Take a look at Sam and Sofia's St. Patty's Day outfits!!

It's Saint Patrick’s Day

Photo of St. Patrick from www.biography.com

Saint Patrick’s Day is known to be associated with everything Irish: anything green, gold, shamrocks as well as luck. Most importantly, to those who celebrate its intended meaning: a traditional day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide.

Why is Saint Patrick's Day celebrated on March 17th?

There are a few different stories about why Saint Patrick's Day lands on March 17th. One theory is that that is the day that St. Patrick died. Since the holiday began in Ireland, it is believed that as the Irish spread out around the world, they took with them their history and celebrations. The biggest observance of all is, of course, in Ireland. With the exception of restaurants and pubs, almost all businesses close on March 17th. Being a religious holiday as well, many Irish attend mass, where March 17th is the traditional day for offering prayers for missionaries worldwide before the serious celebrating begins.

In America, St. Patrick’s Day is a big deal. Big cities as well as small towns celebrate with parades, wearing the color green, music and songs, Irish food and drinks, and activities for kids such as: crafts, coloring and games. Some communities take things to the extremes and dye their rivers and/or streams GREEN!
(I know, crazy right? I bet it looks awesome though!)
