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.
