SARTELL (WJON News) -- You didn't have to have the Luck of the Irish on Saturday to take part in a 5K race but it wouldn't have hurt. The St. Cloud YMCA and Cetera Investment Services sponsored the 13th Annual Pot O' Gold 5K race at Riverview Intermediate School.

There was also a 2-mile walk and a "Little Leprechaun's" 1K Race. YMCA Fitness Coordinator Brent Lundell says people were having a good time even with the windy weather:

"I think yeah, just the first one of the year to is just getting that kick and just everyone's just having a fun fun time even if its cold, hot, it's going to be a good time so I think people were enjoying it so I'm enjoying it and I'm in a kilt so (laughs)."

Lundell says there was also an adult and kids costume contest, and temporary tattoos for the kids too.
