Come celebrate Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day with The Irish Scramble presented by Four Green Fields (205 W. Platt St. Tampa, FL 33606 | 813-254-4444)! The Irish Scramble is a unique fast paced urban adventure race. Teams of 2 or 3 race around the city solving clues and looking for checkpoints. Racers begin on their bikes for the first half of the race, then dismount to complete checkpoints and obstacles on foot. Participants then remount their 2 wheeled steeds and race to the finish line!
