1123 - 29 March 2012 THE COPENHAGEN POST CPHPOST.DK COMMUNITY

Danes mingling with the Americans: Thor Madsen, Shaun Lynch, Maja Bruhn and Sam Stougaard

Ireland’s � nest: Shona Aagesen and Maibrir Persson

Turns out that the only two gingers participating in the race were Danish. What a shame

“Na zdrowie,” chorused Katarzyna Socha, Grzegorz Milcarz Marcin Ruszkiewicz, Bartosz Polanczyk, Marcelina Dutkiewicz and Małgorzata Socha – all from Poland

A Garda o� cer from the Irish police force was there to � ne everyone for drinking in public. Smart move, Ireland; your national debts will be paid o� in no time

Exactly 600 people participated in this year’s annual St Patrick’s Day three-legged charity race on Saturday – they had to turn away nearly 200 people due to safety issues – raising over 45,000kr for three di� er-ent charities: the Danish Hospital Clowns (Danske Hospitalsklovne), the St Francis Hospice, and the Cambodian Children’s Advocacy Foundation. The race was won in an incredible time of 17 minutes, whilst the slowest team took over two hours to reach the � nish

Among those present were Nixxi, Lord, Yoni and Josh from the US – and two photo crashers

They put their own lives in danger, all for charity, of course
