DESCRIPTION

Word on the Street offers hybrid options!

Due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and our desire to keep our community safe and healthy, Word On the Street 5K Run/Walk will offer both in-person and virtual event options for 2021. If restrictions on race day do not allow an in-person event, all participants registered for in-person may choose to transfer to the virtual event, defer their registration fee to 2022, or request a refund. 

Kids' Run will return in 2022. Check the library website for other fun activities for children.

How will the in-person event remain safe?

• Packet pick-up stations will be spread out to allow social distancing. Contactless pick up available on April 30.

• Open start allows participants to choose their start time between 8 am and noon. Participants will remain in their vehicles in the library parking lot until the start area is clear.

• Revised trail course eliminates need for traffic crossing. Course will be marked with route arrows. No course marshals will be present.

• Separate start/finish lines reduce congestion.

• No race timing or results will be provided.

How does a virtual event work?

• T-shirts and race packets can be picked up at the library beginning April 30. Contactless pick-up is available. Participants from outside the area may request t-shirt be shipped for a fee.

• Run or walk a 5K any time on May 1, 2021.

• Choose your route and run anywhere.
