I have not run in a St. Paddy's Day themed race so I haven't had the opportunity to wear green, but I would if I signed up for such a race. April 17th Courage Day 5K will be my first in person race since Covid hit so it will be my first masked race. Hopefully, it will be like yours - mask on until crossing the starting line and back on after we finish.
