This year the response was overwhelming.

And the Fourth Annual Shamrock Run, which was by all indications a smashing success (a final tally of the donation which will be made to the American Heart Association was not available at press time), was better than ever after more than 185 participant’s took off as Natalia Daniels fired the starter’s pistol for the start of the race.

This year’s event – a 2.4-mile run/walk starting in front of the Bi-Lo shopping Center – was held in memory of retired S.C. State Trooper Jeff Daniels, who passed away last year. His wife, Mrs. Daniels, was moved by the large turnout.

“This really is nice to see all of these people to come out,” she said. “It means a lot to see this many people come out here today. I don’t know how much money has been raised, but I hope they’re able to make a big donation.”
