Leprechaun Leap 5K hits streets of north Jackson

JACKSON, Tenn. — A new St. Patrick’s Day tradition is on the run Thursday evening in north Jackson.

Mulligan’s near Union University is hosting WRAP’s Leprechaun Leap 5K. The race begins at 6:30 p.m. and is expected to end around 9 p.m.

More than 60 runners hit the streets last year, dressed up in honor of the holiday. Prizes will be given out this year for the most creative participants.

All the benefits go toward the Wo/Men’s Resource and Rape Assistance Program.

Catch more on the race tonight on WBBJ 7 Eyewitness News at 10.
