Since 1981, the Shamrock Scurry has been raising money to help the hungry and the hurting. Hosted by Killearn Methodist Church, this fun and family-oriented 5K and 1 Mile community event raises over $20,000 annually to help clothe and feed families, provide beds for foster children, and build homes for the homeless.<\/em><\/p>\n

The race started in 1981 at Killearn Methodist Church. After several years, it was hosted by different organizations, then took a short hiatus. In 2010, the race was revived by Killearn with the goal of bringing together our community and raising money to help those in need. All proceeds from the race go to local and international charities.<\/em><\/p>\n
