Join us for the annual 5K Race on Market Day in Newtown! Run or walk on the same course with professional timing provided through Pretzel City Sports. Fruit and water will be provided for racers, as well as t-shirts for the first 100 racers to register. Top male and female racers will receive prizes and library goodie bags will be available for children ages 13 and under.
The race begins and ends at the Library, where the Market Day activities begin! Food trucks, music, crafters, and activities for children are planned throughout the Market area. The library will have its annual book sale as well.
All 5K and book sale proceeds benefit the Newtown Library Company, a non-profit organization run by community volunteers.
