Medals will be awarded to top finishers and age-group winners.
Snacks and drinks will be available after the race at the library. Restrooms are also available inside the library.
Timing will be done by 5K Sports Race Management.
This isn't only a road race; it's also a party! Lawn games, snacks, drinks, and crafts will be available for spectators and runners at the library as well.
The course takes runners past the library twice, so there are plenty of opportunities to cheer.
Come run, walk, and support the Carver Memorial Library!
