Denver Becomes The 'Emerald City' During 'Running Of The Green'

DENVER (CBS4) - Hundreds of people turned downtown Denver into the Emerald City on Sunday for the annual Running of the Green.

The Irish-inspired run and walk benefits the Volunteers of America.

Everybody dresses up in their best St. Patrick's costumes.

The event is famous for its post-race block party where runners can unwind with green beer and listen to Irish tunes.
