Weather didn’t deter Shamrock Run 5K participants

CRANBERRY TWP—Liam Shilk of Clarion didn’t seem too excited to be running in Saturday’s Shamrock Run 5K at Graham Park. His eyes were half-closed and he was flat on his back.

Of course, Liam was only six months old and mostly uninterested as his mother, Heidi Shilk,was bundling him up before the race. She would be pushing Liam and his two-year-old sister Maura in a double stroller during the race.

“We’re going to give it a go, and she’ll still win,” said Liam’s father Kyle Shilk as they prepared before the start of the run at the park’s back shelter under a gray sky, sprinkles of rain and temperatures in the mid-30s.
