By Melanie Maxwell

The annual Shamrocks & Shenanigans 5K Run and Walk starts and finishes in downtown Ann Arbor and draws a colorful cast of characters. AnnArbor.com photographer Melanie Maxwell captured the scene.

More than 1,650 runners and walkers completed the course. Lindsey Lalonde was first with a time of 16 minutes, 33.9 seconds, nearly 30 seconds ahead of runner-up Jeff Girbach.

Results from the run, which benefits Mott Children's Hospital, will be available at the official website.
