2026 Spooktacular Storybook 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run

Step into a storybook to support local libraries!
The Friends of the Public Libraries of Cullman County are hosting their annual Spooktacular Storybook 5K and 1-mile Fun Run.
Dress up as your favorite book character for a chance to win prizes.
All registrants before September 30 will receive a race shirt. This year’s shirt design will be announced as we approach race day!
The 5K race begins at 8 a.m. and the 1-mile run will start right after!
Registration prices go up after August 15 and again after September 30. You may register in-person for both races between 6:30-7:45 am on race day. The last day to register with a guaranteed t-shirt will be September 30, so get in early!
Check-in and packet pickup are located at Cullman County Public Library at 200 Clark St NE, Cullman, AL 35055.
While we love our furry friends, we do ask that you keep your pets at home or to greet you at the start/finish line. For liability reasons, we cannot allow them to run the race.
