Would you like to support libraries and get some exercise at the same time? Then this is the event for you!
Join library supporters all across New Mexico by walking or running on the Saturday of National Library Week, April 25th at 10:00 am MT. Race sites will be in Farmington, Las Vegas, Hatch, Capitan, Carlsbad, and Las Cruces. Live somewhere else or busy that day? Feel free to register and participate any time, any where before midnight April 25th, 2025.
Walk or run at your own pace with other library supporters from your community; there will be no times or winners. Our goal is that you have a good time and that the real winners will be New Mexico libraries. 100% of funds raised in Run/Walk for NM Libraries will go directly to libraries and librarians in New Mexico in the form of Development, STEM, and Professional Development Grants.
Continuing this year! Free t-shirts thanks to the sponsorship of Portable Micrographics, Thrivent, REFORMA de Nuevo Mexico, The Dean Foundation, The JSA Foundation, and Friends of NMLF.

These values represent the 3-year monthly averages for April in Albuquerque.
Albuquerque, also known as ABQ, is a vibrant, sprawling city near the center of New Mexico. Cradled in the Rio Grande Valley beneath the Sandia Mountains, it is by far the largest city in the state, acting as the media, educational, and economic center of New Mexico, as well as the home of the state's only major airport, making it a common entry point into New Mexico. Despite this, Albuquerque is often overshadowed as a tourist destination by Santa Fe, 60 miles (97 km) to the north.
