Germantown Library 5K Run/Walk

Join your community for an uplifting and fun-filled day as we come together to support the library. The annual race offers something special for everyone with its 5k run/walk, perfect for all ages and skill levels. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking for some friendly competition, this event promises excitement and camaraderie.
The main attraction is the 5k course that winds through the charming streets of our town, offering scenic views and an enjoyable atmosphere along the way. For younger participants, there's also a shorter race designed specifically for kids to ensure they have fun while contributing to their community.
Cash prizes await those who excel in this year’s event, adding an extra layer of excitement and motivation as you compete against fellow runners or simply enjoy the journey at your own pace. The entry fees are set at $25 for adults aged 18 and above, with a discounted rate of $15 available to children under 17.
Volunteers play a crucial role in making this event possible by assisting throughout race day with various tasks such as registration, water stations, course marshals, or cheering on participants. If you're interested in lending a hand, reach out via events@germantownlibrary.org for more details and to sign up. Volunteer opportunities are flexible; whether you can commit the whole day or just part of it, your contribution is appreciated.
Shirt guarantees are available when you register by September 16th, ensuring that all participants receive commemorative gear celebrating our community spirit.
