• 5K Run:- Run 1 Mile

The 2017 Bookin' It 5K Run features a 5K race course for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities and a Bookworm Jog for children 12 and under.  And if you can't participate in the race, you can help support the race as a Silent Reader.  There is a new location this year!

Strollers are welcome, but must line up behind the runners. The Bookworm Jog will start at 8:30 AM; 5K will start at 9:00 AM. 

Finish line services are presented by A Course/Line LLC of Valdosta.
