Aggieville began its celebration of St. Patrick’s Day with footraces and ended it with a parade, as has been the tradition for decades.
Manhattan Running Company and Red Dirt Race Management managed the two competitions on Saturday, which included the Shamrock 2-mile and the Marvin Hachmeister 10K.
