2026 Bookish 5K & Cookie Fun Run (If You Give A Pig A Party)

Get ready to indulge in the sweetest race of the year—the 2024 Cookie Fun Run/Walk, celebrating "The Year of the Cupcake"! This isn't just a run; it's a treat for your senses and a chance to ditch the guilt because, yes, you can have your cookies and eat them too! Join us for a family-friendly mile around Lafayette Park, munching on PANCAKES at each checkpoint, inspired by the delightful "If You Give a Pig a Pancake".

Cross the finish line and be rewarded with a Cupcake themed medal, and if you have little ones under 5, they'll get their own copy of the year's featured book. With an entry fee that's as sweet as the event—$20 for adults, $10 for youth, and free for the tiniest runners—there's no reason not to lace up and join in the fun. Remember, in case we have to cancel, your entry becomes a generous donation to the Waterloo Library & Historical Society. See you at the starting line!
