Bookish 5K

The 2025 Bookish 5K & Cookie Fun Run, themed "The Year of the Brownie," is a family-friendly event held in Waterloo, NY, organized by the Waterloo Library & Historical Society. It features a 5K run/walk, a 1-mile Cookie Fun Run/Walk, and a virtual 5K option. Inspired by the book "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie," the race combines fitness with fun treats, offering cupcakes and brownies to participants.

The 1-mile course loops around the library area, while the 5K course details are available online. Participants receive themed medals, and children under five get a copy of the event's book. Proceeds support the local library and historical society. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
